Surf Long Bay

Long Bay - Auckland, New Zealand Long Bay features a right-breaking beach break with a sandy bottom, ideal for beginners and those looking to practice. The spot works best at mid tide during rising and falling tides, with optimal conditions when the swell comes from the east or northeast and the wind is from the northeast. Located in the suburb of Torbay, Long Bay is part of a collection of beaches on Auckland's north shore. While the waves can be inconsistent, the southern reef occasionally delivers quality surf when conditions align. The area is quite sheltered, making it a pleasant spot for a day out, complete with a lovely beach and nearby park facilities. Expect a crowd on weekends, as locals flock to enjoy the waves, but weekdays often offer a more tranquil experience. Be mindful of localism in the water, and always check the wave forecast before heading out.
