I really want to see these reefs in the ocean. There are plenty of waves that just crash into cliffs or rocks that could be harnessed for fun.

What? It's not a reef. This Slater wave pool is outside Lemoore, which is outside of Fresno.

Waves that crash into cliffs are usually already known for good surf due to the reefs that are already there. Some may only be accessible by boat, but most coastline with sufficient wave action already has surfable waves.
