Karitane surf guide

Surf: Hollow Karitane rivermouth bar rights awaken on E swells while further outside, The Point is a sucky, challenging right, breaking close to the rocks from headhigh to scary big. Needs a good bit of E in the swell to break and the rivermouth sandbars are notoriously fickle. Directions: 32 km north of Dunedin Environment: Experts only out the point which can be a bit sharky and rippy. Surf the back beach on S-SE swells.
