What are the best surf conditions for Simmons Reef?

Gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard or a step-up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is not consistent (3/10) and will get insanely crowded (9/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the Northwest and West. Works on a low to mid tide.

We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 20 degrees. In More...
