The reef is all the reef area East of the land that is pretty much under a hundred feet of depth.Further east of the reef it drops off into hundreds of feet of water, this is no longer reef,and further east is the Gulfstream.

Winds coming out of the South West @ 20 to 25 means very rough water in Key West.
