Additional Information
Atmosphere
Wainui is a classic beach break which can be compared to Biarritz in France. Best when the surf is 3-4 foot on a northeast swell with a light offshore northwest wind.
Wainui beach consists of many different named breaks but when the conditions are right the whole beach pumps.
General
A fun wave which barrels and is almost always surfable.
