Cockrane’s Reef is a surf spot that's popular among locals and visitors alike. It's situated a short paddle from the shore and features a long left that almost wraps around 180°. You'll also find rights that can work well, especially when the swell is up to 4ft (1.2m). It's a decent place to catch some waves, though it’s not the most famous spot around.

The spot works best with a northwest swell, but it can also handle swells coming from the west and north. It can pick up smaller sizes starting from 2ft (0.6m), making it accessible for those who are more comfortable at intermediate levels. The waves break over dead coral, which gives it a unique texture as you ride. If you're looking for the best conditions, east winds are preferable, and it doesn’t matter too much if it's low, mid, or high tide; most surfers find something to ride regardless of the tide height.

If you’re looking to improve your skills, this reef break can be a good spot since it offers rides that can help you work on your turns and general technique. Make sure you're aware of the conditions and respect the locals, as always. Happy surfing!
