Located on the other side of the bay, Gonubie Reef is a surf spot that offers a consistent left pointbreak, which is quite rare in this area. The waves here can produce long, fun rides that are bashable, making it enjoyable for many surfers. The reef works well with various swell directions and sizes, but for those looking to get the best out of their session, a medium swell can present some challenges. When the tide drops, it definitely aids in making the paddle-out easier.

The optimal swell direction for Gonubie Reef is SouthEast, but the spot can also handle swells coming from NorthEast and SouthWest. It works well with swell sizes around 3ft (approximately 0.9 meters), and the waves generally break over a rocky ledge. The waves here are primarily point breaks, going left, which makes it a decent spot for those who enjoy that ride. For the best conditions, a NorthWest wind is preferred, and it can be surfed during low, mid, or high tides. It’s important to note that this spot is best suited for intermediate surfers due to the varying challenges it can present.

Gonubie Reef can get a bit crowded, especially when the conditions are good. It’s also located near a channel and rivermouth, so keep an eye out for boats while you're out there. The mix of surfers and boat traffic can add to the complexity of your session, so make sure to stay aware!
