Koonya reef
Edit SpotAbout
"can be one of the best little reefs in vicco"
Atmosphere:
Fun to charge and hurt yourself if that's what you're into. There is a fun shorey just next to it if you like eating sand.
This beach is a little cove with rocks either side of the beach break. On high tide surf the right hander off the right to the right and any other time surf the huge shore breakers.
Additional Info:
Quite heavy shorebreak, also psycho reef break on high tide. The reef area is best when big swell, high tide and North wind. Shorey can be any wind.
Don't use your best surf board it will get broken, but you will get sick barrels before that.
