Catlins River Mouth

Located in the remote Catlins region of New Zealand, this beach break delivers consistent lefts and rights fueled by south-southeast swells. Best surfed in offshore northwest winds, the waves work at all tide stages and rarely see crowds. Experienced surfers will appreciate the powerful conditions, though shark sightings and strong rips demand caution. Water temperatures hover around 14.6°C, so a wetsuit is essential.
