Needs a big Tropical cyclone NE swell to break. Only go if the surf is to big for the rest of the East Coast spots in auckland.eg. If it's 10ft up the coast then it will be 4-6ft if the direction is good and if the wind is good too it's goes off.

Good spot - The Right hand side of Onetangi Beach on Waiheke Island Is the only decent easy acess break. The locals call it Peaks because on the Mid tide it bounces off the rocks a little and peaks creating a nice take off point.
