Chicken Reef surf guide

Surf: Chicken Reef is an insane tube over a sharp coral-crusted shelf up to 10ft (3m). Sucks hard on the free-fall drop, shacks then walls up into an equally shallow inside section when big enough. Mid tides and N winds are best. Environment: Look for the rocky islet with the large Osprey nest built on top. Gets crowded since it is easily checked from the bus which stops above the break. There are many other potentially awesome surf spots on the island - check Transits, The Basins or North Point when things get too big on the south coast.
