Smails Beach Surf Forecast

Otago & Southland, New Zealand

Today’s Local Read

Smails Beach's best window today is roughly 3pm to 5pm, with knee to waist surf. The swell sits right in its window, the wind is adding some chop, but it wants more water on it, so it comes good on the push. It is a punchy, mellow beach break, so expect company on the peak.
