0.5 meter waves generated by the wind. Can get some decent swell if the wind comes from the Northeast. Soft, dark Grey sand, with a bit of seaweed on the high tide water mark. The beach is a big bay (15 km long) and is pretty safe as long as you don't ride too far out. Main wind is NW, the spot can probably get some good Easterlies as well, but that's just a guess. The bay curves, making several directions sideshore. Futher south E and W, all the way up north N and S. NW wind brings usually fine dry weather with strong winds, and the kind of trees and grass around is a definite proof this is dominant weather. Wetsuit required all year long. Wind is strong, and water not that warm in South NZ. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Rooms, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
