Meatworks Tides
Just south of Mangamaunu, Meatworks is another Kaikōoura reef break set against the dramatic backdrop of the Southern Alps meeting the sea. Its tide patterns mirror Mangamaunu's but with subtle differences that make it a distinct wave — proof that even neighbouring beaches have their own tidal fingerprint.
