Shoals Reef/Wall surf guide

Surf: Most often, a boat trip to South Kruzof Island is to surf the southern reefbreaks, and Shoals Reef/Wall is the premier wave, about 30min from town. Primarily rights, this offshore lava reef works best on S swells, although W will also break and it handles up to 15ft (5m) in any N wind. Mid tide best and it is easily blown out. Environment: Access via the surf shop boat trips.
