on a north west swell the southern end of the beach will have a long rippable left and a short but sucky right, on a southerly swell the north end will have a sick as right hander which barrels extreamly fast along a shallow sandbar thers an outside peak and then it reels off, this is a very fickle wave and very dependent on the tide, it only breaks when the swell in the cook strait is about 4 meters.
ok?
Hey i love surfing and the ocean, but its just hard to take t bay seriously as a surf spot & listen to the locals blowing on like its indo or somthing. For sure you can get a real love & attachment for your local break & ocean but still does not change the fact that T bay is not a great wave. But hey enjoy. If it makes you happy then it must be good. (please travel)

townie???wtf....you must be an idiot
some people i think maybe have lost all concept of what surfing is all about.how narrow can the mind get.i live here,with a view of the break....and like any wave in the world.....its has its day...i love it here......ding dongs like you can just stay away, often i look out my window..see a very nice wave...with no one out...and spend plenty of time smiling my way thru a session......if you find that you arnt finding the love in this thing we call surfing...then i suggest that you go and take up tennis or golf or something........enjoy my local wave......we surf for the vibe,the stoke..the love of the ocean.

get real
You T bay fools must be buying too much P with all the money you get from ripping peoples cars off. At best the waves there are a desperate summer grovel. All in all not really a surf spot. Keep it. oh yeah your hardly way out of town there, whats this townies shit? Get your hand off it. althouh i did see a 3 ft ground swell last for 2hrs there once. bye
