Anatori River Surf Photo: 'Near Sandhills' by Rob Davies

When Sandhills is big, this peak just along the beach towards Anatori can be an easier alternative. At this size swell, only to shoulder to just over head-high, Sandhills is a better wave. Long period swell about 1m high coincides with a big high in the Tasman leading to a long spell of good surf conditions.
