Whitford Creek

Water is very shallow for most of it. Most of the creek works best at high tide. No waves, just chop when really windy. Beach with sand and shells. Not crowded here at all, even in 30°C summer days. Many access points. Wind is best here in the afternoon. Best season here is spring with heaps of 20+ knot days from the West or SW (almost every day). Summer thermal breezes can occasionally reach this far east and are usually 10-20 knots. Afternoon winter winds are also quite good here from the WSW after the squalls has eased a bit. Even during autumn sessions here are frequent, despite May being the most fluky season in Auckland. Spring is very windy. All wind directions work here. Water temp is warm during summer, about 30°C. In winter about 10-15°C. Air temp ranges from 14-20°C in winter to 21-32°C in summer. Wetsuit definitely not required in summer but sun is fierce so rash shirt required. Season here runs all year. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: None. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
