Reef, situated on the north side of Praia da Empa, neighboring Backdoor, is a formidable and dynamic right-hand reef break. Characterized by deep waters around the reef, it becomes remarkably potent. When the conditions align, it delivers impeccable hollow barrels, but it demands precision and skill. The take-off is crucial, leading to a thrilling tube that concludes right where the reef platform emerges on the surface. Timing is everything. For ideal surfing conditions, seek an east wind (SE-NE) and northwest swell. Mid-tide typically provides the best experience. Reef is revered among bodyboarders and renowned as one of the most challenging waves in the area, best suited for expert surfers.
