Whale Watch Reef Surf Guide
Whale Watch Reef in Kaikoura and Marlborough is an exposed beach and reef break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds are from the southwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. There is no beach break and a right hand reef break too. Best around low tide when the tide is falling. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Beware of rips, rocks and sharks.
