It's right near cudgen reef. Go to the Cudgen break wall and you should see a wave break 100 odd metres out to sea, that is it. This reef is nuts. The paddle takes ages unless you have a boat.

The lip breaks before it barrels and then it barrels onto 1ft deep sharp reef, it is real sucky and is very fast and very thick. Access is easy just go 2 needledicks.
Atmosphere
When paddling out you may see whales (as i did) dolphins or sharks so be prepared. Only go out with a group of mates because usualy there is nobody out there. The take off is sucky, and you have to take off under the lip or you will be thrown over onto painful reef. Then another section forms 30m further down the wave.
General
It's the best reef I have surfed yet.

cudgen - i have been talking to people of late about this reef and they all tell me its pretty powerful. not really a surfers wave as you can see in the photos, a great boogers wave though. (i surf) pity theres not more of these set-ups around so the surfrs can ride what they want and the boogers can do the same
