Waihau Bay Surf Guide
Waihau Bay in East Cape is a quite exposed beach and reef break that has pretty consitent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the south and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the north. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights together with both left and right hand reef breaks offshore. Good surf at all stages of the tide. A remote wave spot that never gets crowded.
