What's great about the Farewell Spit is that the wind can be coming from any direction with a medium to long walk a new spot can be found. Just behind the spot on the West coast is a bit wavy but is a good spot when the wind is blowing East. The Spit is almost always windy with a consistent wind. Water: Shallow, Smallwave. Features: Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
