Ward Beach Surf Guide
Ward Beach in Kaikoura and Marlborough is a fairly exposed beach break that has reasonably consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds blow from the northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southeast. The beach break provides left and right handers. Best around low tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Watch out for dangerous rips.
