general information

Anchor your boat in the entrance to the lagoon to the north west of the island and grab the RHIB. The main break tends to be along the westerly edge of the reef but the south westerly point can offer a nice ride in the right tides. Just remember if you do surf Spirit Well that you are basically surfing in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Ashmore Reef is a marine haven for barracudda, sharks and sea snakes. Always keep the boat nearby and always have someone spotting for sharks. Bring absolutely everything you will need as the island here are uninhabited with the exception of the odd shipwrecked Indonesian fishermen - God's Speed young traveller, God's Speed.
