Kapiti Island is out off the Kapiti Coast and is only accessible by private boat. Kapiti Island offers several breaks, a left hand point break off the north east point of the island, then anoth left hand point break mid way down the east coast of the island, and a right hand point break off the south east point of the island. All breaks are on rocky points. The north and mid breaks work on a north west swell with a southerly wind, and offer powerful, hollow, waves. The north point produces a lot longer, fast waves. The mid break has shorter, barreling waves. The south point works on a big south swell with north to north westerly winds, and offers gnarly, hollow barrel. Experts only.
