Radar Reef
Radar Reef is Rottnest Island's remote southwest-tip reef break: an exposed reef platform with a hard-edged right-reef personality, serious hazard context, and a proper island-adventure access feel. It is the kind of wave experienced surfers chase when the island wakes up, not a casual Perth city session.

Lineup Insights
The Wave
Northeast offshore wind is the clean lane, with south-southwest swell as the strongest direction and west-southwest support on the bigger windows.
Keep an eye on the moving tide rather than a hard low or high lock.
Lineup Guide
The surf guide treats this as a boat-required experienced-surfers break, while Beachsafe also notes a west-end track down to the exposed reef platform, so access is part of the adventure and the hazards are real: sharp reef, isolation, sharks, and a high-hazard shoreline.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
