Anatori kitesurf spot

New Zealand · Tasman

Spot currently openExpert level -40.7 | 172.36

Overview

Anatori is a very isolated kitesurfing spot located on the west coast of the Tasman region, in the northwest of New Zealand's South Island. This wild beach is directly exposed to the Tasman Sea and receives powerful west and northwest winds without any obstacle. It is an end-of-the-world spot, rarely visited.

The prevailing west and northwest winds are often very strong. The spot is reserved for expert kitesurfers due to its extreme isolation, powerful ocean waves, and total absence of infrastructure or rescue services. Only self-sufficient and very experienced riders should venture here.
