Description

Third Reef - Shelter Cove Third Reef features a rocky reef break that offers both right and left waves, characterized by fast, ordinary, and fun power. The bottom consists of sharp coral and rocks, making it essential for surfers to be cautious. Access is straightforward, located near Shelter Cove, requiring a five-minute walk south from Deadmans. This surf spot lies between Deadmans and No Pass, with a reef peak that breaks relatively far from the shore. Although it can provide solid sessions when conditions are favorable, the fear of shark attacks tends to deter crowds. Surfers should be aware of potential dangers such as urchins and localism. The unique reef setup significantly influences the wave quality, making it crucial to assess conditions before heading out. Always prioritize safety while enjoying the surf at Third Reef.
