Middle Reef sits between Kuta Reef and the Airport reef breaks, about 800m offshore. It picks up more swell than any other reef in the area.
Powerful A-frame peaks break over coral reef with no channel, meaning you are constantly in the impact zone. Both lefts and rights work, with the right being longer. Gets heavy at 6ft+ and demands respect.
Dry season (April-October) with solid SW swells. Works on most tides. Handles more size than neighboring reefs.
Boat access only from Kuta Beach or Jimbaran. Not for beginners due to no channel.
