North Shoot - Saturday 31st May at Long Reef with Andrew Porter
2025-05-31 06:00 - 07:30 | Long Reef
Location Information
Location features : It’s a 0.5 m low tide at sunrise, so the flat reef will be exposed. Multiple compositions of scattered boulders, some surf on the outer reef and a possible reverse sunrise with reflections of the headland and cliff. Also a nice composition looking out from the top of the headland, especially if we get a good sunrise.
Hazards/Dangers : Take care walking on the reef in the dark. Although it is flat, there are crevasses and ponds.
Fitness requirements? : It’s a 10-minute walk from the car park to the top of the headland, then another 10-minute walk down the track onto the reef itself. That’s why we are allowing enough time to walk from the car park to get onto the reef by first light.
Additional safety equipment required : Bring a torch and wear rock shows if going onto the rock shelf.
