Surf Waiheke Is

Waiheke Is - Waiheke Island Waiheke Is features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot requires a significant Tropical cyclone NE swell to break effectively, typically producing 4-6 ft waves when conditions align favorably. Accessed via a ferry from Auckland, surfers can reach the best waves at Onetangi Beach, known for its consistent swell. The area is less crowded during the week, making it ideal for those seeking solitude. Optimal conditions occur at mid tide with rising and falling tides, particularly when the swell comes from the North or Northeast and winds blow from the West or Southwest. With instant access and charming local amenities, Waiheke Is offers a unique surfing experience amidst stunning island scenery.
