Florida Keys Reef sits in the remote southern reaches of florida - west coast, where the living coral reef system of the Florida Keys chain creates rare and unpredictable wave opportunities in an otherwise calm subtropical environment. Waves here are highly dependent on tropical storm and hurricane swells pushing out of the Atlantic or Gulf, producing short, powerful, and extremely shallow reef breaks that demand respect. The crystal-clear warm water and dramatic coral formations make this a unique and memorable experience for expert surfers willing to time their visit to passing tropical systems.
