About this Spot

Taylars Reef is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its left-breaking waves that roll over a coral reef bottom. The waves break off rocks on top of a shallow ledge, and the reef can often suck up dry, so surfers need to be cautious of the rocks and urchins in the area. Taylars Reef is best suited for intermediate surfers due to the challenging conditions. The wave length is less than 50 meters, and the spot is generally uncrowded, providing a more solitary surfing experience. The best time to surf here is during high tide when the waves are more manageable. To reach Taylars Reef, park your car at Diggers Beach and walk up the headland until you reach the top of the hill, then follow a little track down to the rocks. Alternatively, you can paddle out, which takes more than 20 minutes, or use a boat. Nearby surf spots include Diggers Beach, Park Beach, North Beach, North Wall Beach, and Hills Beach. When planning your surf session, it’s important to check the surf forecast and report to ensure optimal conditions. A map and webcam can also be helpful tools for assessing the spot before heading out. Remember to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
