Tide Dir.
Tide Time

Level: Intermediate, Expert

Type: Lake

Water type: Flat, Chop

Water hazards: None

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Flat to choppy water.

Beach type & size: Grass, Sand, Pebbles - Medium

Infos: Gravel and coarse sand. Large grass areas to rig and plenty of car parks. Launch anywhere along this shore line. Not the largest beach and varies according to annual glacial melt. Lots of obstructions in close vicinity, beware!

Identified hazards: Other

Beachgoer: None

Weather specificities: Hot in summer, high 20sC, damn cold in winter. You may need a wetsuit all seasons.

Wind type: Frontal

Wind specificities: Prone to extended periods of high pressure in summer (December to March) can be frustrating. Closer to winter regular frontal activity that brings a good breeze. Seldom fluky. Blows infrequently but when on usually can be depended on for several days at a time and to be strong. Predominantly NNW (onshore) or a bitterly cold southerly. Prevailing northwesterly is onshore and when blows, it blows hard. Expect upwards of 25 knots.

Access description: by Car - Get to Wanaka from Queenstown via Cromwell or the Crown Range. Long drive from Christchurch via Twizel. The beach is accessible from the main drag which parallels the lake shore.

Extra: Avoid the local high school kids, not to be trusted in any instance. After a good session pop over to the snack shack for some legendary hot chips.

Accommodations: Shop, Toilet, Food
