 Additional Information

it has to be a really big southerly swell to wrap in here or else a 2-3 metre easterly is good also...does not catch any swell from the northerly points on the compass. light offshore is best with an incoming tide. if kaikoura is maxing down the coast then it could be well worth cheaking this out. no locals as such(except me)..also another 4 spots within 20mins of here..
