Surf Transit reef

Transit Reef - Rottnest Island Transit Reef features a sandbar wave that breaks both right and left over a sandy bottom mixed with rocks. This open water break requires strong paddling power and is best suited for experienced surfers, as it can be finicky and is sensitive to wind conditions. The wave is fast and fun but primarily works on larger swells. Accessing Transit Reef involves a ferry ride to Rottnest Island, followed by a short paddle or boat trip to the break. The wave is known for its long rides and shifting take-off, making it enjoyable once you find your rhythm. However, it is not consistently reliable, often affected by wind and only breaking on significant swells. Surfers should be cautious of rips, undertows, and potential shark encounters. The spot remains relatively uncrowded during the week, offering a more serene surfing experience.
