Patiti Point is Timaru's south-side point break, an exposed point setup with a strong local identity and a real history in the city coastline. It sits beside the South Beach track and the Patiti Point reserve area, so the surf feel is tied to the walk and the erosion story as much as the wave itself.

The point works at all tides, but low-mid incoming is often the better read, and the exposed shingle shore means you should read the section and entry line before committing.
