Tuhawaiki Point Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Tuhawaiki Point in South Canterbury is an exposed point break that doesn’t work very often and has no strong seasonal pattern. The best surf occurs with an east-northeast swell and offshore winds from the west, typically during winter—most often in July—when clean, rideable waves are more likely. The break receives a mix of groundswells and windswells and works best around high tide. It can sometimes get crowded, and surfers should beware of rips, rocks, local surfers, and sharks.
