Scott Point.

Scott Point is a swell magnet at the northern terminus of 90 Mile Beach, suited to adventurous, self-sufficient surfers who can handle remote conditions and unpredictable ocean. The spot faces into virtually every swell angle - S through N - with NW being the optimal direction, making it one of the most omnidirectional breaks in New Zealand. Most days it is a messy, wind- and swell-battered beach, but small swell and light winds can line up workable A-frame peaks, plus a scrappy right sheltered behind the headland. NE winds provide the best offshore conditions. The spot catches everything, though quality sessions are far less frequent. This is genuine solo-surfing territory, and the only other people you're likely to see are fishermen. Rip currents are the primary hazard; the isolation means no safety net if something goes wrong. An intermediate-level wave at minimum, primarily due to the remote access and ocean conditions rather than wave difficulty.

Swell magnet from every angle, quality only when wind relents and isolation demands self-sufficiency.
