Makorori Point Surf Photo: 'Canoeists at Makorori Point' by Rob Davies

Fun waves at the point. Mostly SSE swell made it bigger and better at Wainui and the Makorori breaks to the north. By afternoon, the summer sea-breeze had blown it to bits at all of these places. Unless there is a NW offshore ahead of an approaching low, this is the usual pattern in summer anticyclones.
