Surf Spot Details

Wave Quality Rating3 Type of WaveBeach break Direction of WaveRight & left BottomSand DifficultyBeginners Crowd LevelBusy HazardsRips General DescriptionTaylors Mistake is one of the better breaks in the Christchurch area. TM tends to have a little more size than other breaks in the area and as a result can be busier. Works in a big northerly, and easterly but probably best in a south easterly swell. Offshore in a westerly.
Taylors can hold up to a 2.5m swell and relies on its banks for the quality of waves.
