About
Simmons Reef, nestled in San Diego County, is a regional classic known for its powerful right-hand barrels that rise from sharp coral and rocky bottoms. The waves come alive with swells from the Northwest and West, ideal when the tide is low and begins to rise, working best at 1.5 to 2 meters, but capable of holding up to 4 meters or more. Surfers must tread carefully; the reef's jagged edges can be unforgiving. Here, amidst the ocean's raw beauty, the thrill of the ride awaits those brave enough to dance with the waves.
