Reefer Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Reefer is a lesser-known beach-break in Virginia Beach, featuring a sandy bottom with subtle shaping from nearby structures. It performs best in fall through early winter, when tropical and northeast swell energy lines up with offshore breezes, producing more rideable form over the consistent sand. The spot is most active around mid to high tide, offering waist-high peaks that appeal to intermediate surfers looking for quieter lineups. Crowds are minimal compared to central spots like the jetty or piers—but surfers should still watch for rip currents and be prepared for local conditions.
