Colac Bay west of Riverton, in the Foveaux Strait gets the southerly swells, pushing up long vertical walls. The best surf riding is when the swells are around 2 metres high. The western point of the bay, called Nicks Point, has an excellent right-hand point break, which is best at mid to low tide on a westerly swell. Camping is available at Colac Bay and also Tuatapere and Riverton.
