Reef Road, Florida


Located between Singer Island Condos and the estates of Palm Beach, this once secret spot has become a surfing mecca for South Floridians to enjoy. In 1916, the area was dredged, which has now created a beautiful left and the most powerful wave in all of South Florida. In any given day, this break tends to be larger than the others in the area, and also more crowded. Reef Road is in Palm Beach, FL, which is an hour and a half drive from Miami; 15 minutes from the Palm Beach Airport. One of the difficulties with this break is it's location. It is right in front of a neighborhood, so parking is very difficult and scarce. The local surfers in the area are usually fairly pleasant, however, some of the original riders of this break are known to be territorial because of this once hidden gem. This is a beach break that typically only breaks left and sharks are very common in this area. The water temperature can be anywhere from 72-82 degrees F, depending on the time of year, with an outside temperature averaging at 77 degrees F. A wet suit is only required a few days out of the 365 day year!
