Anatori River in Nelson - West Coast is an exposed beach and point break that usually has waves and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Poor surf in light onshore winds Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the west southwest. The beach breaks are all lefts and in addition, there is also a left hand point break. Best around low tide. The location means that it never gets crowded. Watch out for dangerous rips.
