Anatori River Surf Photo: 'Winter morning offshore' by Rob Davies

Cold wind blows offshore down from the Kahurangi Mountains. A thick frost but the sea is still warm following the exceptionally long and hot summer. Good conditions with two long period swells combining at times to make sets that were well overhead.
