  • Does it always break like this??

  • Nah, it needs a bigger swell to break properly. holds well with a 3m swell on the incoming tide. the best size is about double overhead cause it seems to hit the reef on the outside and roll over the rest of the point.

    Like every break it needs the right swell to really perform.

  • Right but, how often do you surf at this place? Because I went twice to NZ, but i just have surfed at spots around Auckland, Ragland and Hawke´s Bay... never been at any spot in South Island....

  • I have moved to Auckland now, the 4 years I lived in Invercargil, that spot broke nearly every week. South Island surf is great in the autumn winter and spring when the big Antarctic ground swells come in.

    It is a bit hit and miss as all surfing is. but if you based yourself on the south coast the chances of finding a surf each day are pretty good. There is more surf in the south island than the north by far tho, but it is wet suit surfing nearly all year round.
