Blenheim Beach
Edit SpotAbout
The greatest undiscovered surf spot in the surf spot when the tide is going out
Atmosphere:
There will be boogers here and maybe surfers. All round not too bad. I would advise you to keep your clothes on while surfing this spot.
Additional Info:
This wave is really choss. It breaks so rarely that I have only half seen it break once. pretty sketchy but worthwhile if it is good. It's a ledgey right that barrels then reforms sort of. There is also a more consistent beack break but it really is choss!
