Reef at the entrance to Lagundri Bay, on the opposite side from The Point (Sorake): a hollow, powerful left, a spot distinct from The Point despite being close by (~1km). The reef uplift from the 2005 earthquake made it shallower and less consistent (needs high tide and big SW swell); experienced level, dry season May-October (best in July).
