South Garbage is a left- and right-breaking reef that peels over a rock ledge. It draws swell from southwest to northwest (SW-NW) and is usable from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 3 m / 10 ft. Clean conditions come with an east (E) offshore wind, and the reef works on low and mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
