 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

This is an incredibly lame wave that occasionally has displayed greatness out of the lucky combination of wind, swell, sand, and God smiling down on the locals.



One of these most memorable sessions was an Easter weekend way back in ?89 (or was it ?90) that displayed just how good this wave could get, before reminding you that you will be old and grey before you see it like this again??



More famous for the surfers that live here ? members of the PST (Point Surf Team), and the notoriously shifty Schaffer surfing dynasty. Many of which have proved to be serious competitors in South Island and New Zealand surfing circuits.

Atmosphere

Slightly sheltered by the relentless North Easterly and Easterly winds that plague Christchurch throughout the summer. Scarbourgh can offer faces that are a little less chopped up in the big North wind swells that roll down the coast ? sometimes breaking up to 500 metres out in bay clogged with sand. Wave faces that in fact can be incredibly big considering how gutless and weak they are, reforming several times before finally giving up ?the dead donkey? on the grey sand and breakwalls that protect the esplanade.

General

A great place to grow up as a little grommet, riding the reforms, and bouncing off the white water, before becoming disheartened with the fact that your local wave is never going to live up to those posters of barrels and steep faces that cover your bedroom wall.
