Otago Peninsula - Pipikaretu

Pipikaretu is a secluded surf spot on Otago Peninsula, featuring reliable beach and point breaks that work year-round. The best waves come from east-southeast swells, with southwest winds providing ideal conditions. High tide delivers the most consistent surf, with both left and right-hand breaks forming. While the water is cold, requiring a wetsuit, the remoteness means crowds are rare. Surfers should be cautious of rocks and sharks in the area.
