Current Conditions

Poor conditions right now. Tiny waves under 1ft with quality 12s ground swell but strong 16kt winds making it choppy Note: winds from E would be better. Might want to wait for better conditions.

📍 Local Knowledge

Waipapakauri Beach in Northland is an exposed beach break that offers consistent surf with both left and right-hand waves. It works best with distant groundswells from the west-northwest, combined with offshore winds from the east. Ideal conditions occur around mid-tide, particularly during the autumn months, with March being the most reliable for clean, rideable waves. The spot is rarely crowded, making it a quiet option for surfers seeking uncrowded sessions.
