📍 Local Knowledge
Piha – The Ditch, West Coast Auckland: An exposed beach break with consistent surf year-round, mostly rights, best during high tide when rising. Works well on groundswells from the southwest, with optimum conditions occurring when combined with offshore winds from the southeast. Can handle light onshore winds, though rips and rocks are hazards. Often crowded. Peak conditions for clean, rideable waves typically occur in Autumn, especially in March.
