JD Reef

Located in Newcastle, JD Reef is a high-performance reef break that demands skill and experience. The waves here are powerful and best suited for advanced surfers, with consistent south-southeast swells creating long, hollow rides. Offshore winds from the south-southwest help shape the waves, but the spot is notorious for its hazards, including sharp rocks, sharks, and localism. Despite its inconsistent surf, JD Reef remains a coveted destination for expert surfers seeking a thrilling challenge.
