Riverton Rocks

The town transforms into one of New Zealand’s most amazing surf spectacles on a large south or southeast swell that turns the stretch of coast known as Riverton Rocks into a very long - Kilometre-plus - right hand sandy point break. We’re talking serious jelly legs here. It can peel from a foot to around four foot if you’re very lucky. Few get it on, but those who do speak about it with eyes wide. In smaller swells try Colac Bay, Nick’s Point or Porridge. If you have a nose for adventure that is.
