How shallow is the reef on the inside?
It’s probably about 5ft deep when the wave is sucking up and breaking and gets shallower the more you move inside. It gets shallow really quick though, dry basically, but once you get to that point of the reef you’re pretty much getting washed over the reef and into the lagoon, which can be good. The other thing that happens is not getting washed over into the lagoon and then having to scramble off of the really shallow reef to the deep water in the channel. Things can get bad on too westerly a swell if you’re in that position, like I have been, taking waves on the head in the inches of water. You can get scraped up. I did a little.
