Karitane Overview

Optimal right-hand breaks at the river mouth and reef. The river mouth's sandbank shifts, offering potential for extensive right-handers. Further along the point, the reef presents a challenging endeavor. Eastern swells enhance conditions. Ideal offshore winds hail from the SSW. For southern swells, the back beach at Karitane serves as a prime alternative.
