Whangaparaoa Surf Guide
Whangaparaoa in East Cape is a sheltered beach and reef break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds blow from the southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north northwest. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Good surf at all stages of the tide. The location means that it never gets crowded.
