Okarito Beach Surf Guide
Okarito Beach in West Coast South Island is an exposed beach break that has very consistent surf and works all around the year. Offshore winds blow from the southeast with some shelter here from south winds. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Beware of rips, rocks and sharks.
