Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Christmas Bay in The Wairarapa is a fairly exposed beach break that has quite consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best conditions occur when a South-southeast groundswell combines with an offshore wind direction from the West-northwest (with Northwest winds also being favorable). The spot offers some shelter from northeast winds but does not handle onshore conditions very well. The beach breaks provide both lefts and rights and offer good surf at all stages of the tide. There are relatively few surfers here even on good days, though submerged rocks are a known hazard. The best time of year for surfing Christmas Bay with consistent, clean waves is during the winter, particularly the month of May.
