Ocean Reef Park Surf Guide
Ocean Reef is the only consistent surf spot on Singer Island. Short, fast lefts peel off two dead coral outcroppings. The point north of the Lifeguard Tower is more consistent, but the point south of the tower can have better form. Certain conditions create a few other peaks. The reefs work well on wind or groundswells and will often be the best spot around on true N swells. It won't hold much size, but in the waist to head-high range, it can be a blast. The lefts can get busy on N swells; however, nothing like Pump House and Reef Road. It blows out easily, so surf here early in the morning when a N swell is running. Windswell peaks break through the tides but have more juice toward the low tide.
