This coast varys between beach, reef, point and river bar breaks. most consistent swell is from the north east. the inner city beaches only get waves if there is a big troppy ground swell coming down the coast or a N.E to East storm swell created by winds closer to the coast. The beaches picking up swell get more consistent the further north you go as they are out of the shadow of the corramandel, great barrier island and the other islands of the outer hauraki gulf. The main surf beaches atart at Omaha and Takatu point. Omaha dosn't pick up as much swell as beaches further north such as pakiri but takatu picks up all swells coming from the north to N.E directions. Pakiri is the first real open beach facing the north east. beaches from here up to waipu pick up all swells from the N.E to S.E. Can pick up bigger north swells as well. some classic breaks like Te arai point, mangawhai bar, dings, the cove, the groin, omaha bar, and the mythical Milford reef, o'neils and taka north reef dot this coast line. There are still alot of secret spots on this coast that most surfers just drive past without knowing of. |
