Taylor’s Reef is a reef break on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, known for producing clean, powerful waves when the sand and swell line up. It tends to work best with a solid southeast to northeast swell and a light offshore breeze, offering a mix of peaky rights and lefts depending on the day and tide. The wave can be fast and hollow on bigger swells, with a punchy takeoff over reef sections, so it’s generally best suited to intermediate to advanced surfers.

Conditions can vary a lot with tide and swell direction, and when it’s on, Taylor’s Reef can be a quality option compared with more exposed beach breaks nearby. Like many reef setups in the region, it rewards good timing, local knowledge, and careful wave selection.
