About this Spot

The Reef Moffat Beach is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This spot is known for its powerful reef-break about 200 meters off Moffat Beach, providing both left and right waves. The bottom is composed of coral reef, making it a regional classic for surfers with intermediate experience. The waves here rarely break, and when they do, they are less than 50 meters in length. The spot is not crowded, with only a few surfers typically present. Surfers should be aware of the presence of urchins, rocks, and sharks in the area, as well as rips and undertow that can make conditions challenging. The spot is accessible by a 200-meter paddle from Moffat Beach, which can take more than 20 minutes, or by boat. It’s important to check the surf forecast, report, and map before heading out, and a webcam can provide real-time conditions. Surfers should also check their skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit their surfing level. Remember to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. Always ensure that the difficulty of the spot matches your surfing abilities. Respect the locals.
