Surf Opotere

Opotere - New Zealand Opotere features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot is known for its fast and fun waves, ideal for experienced surfers. It works well at all tides, with optimal conditions arising from swells coming from the southeast, east, and northeast, and winds from the northwest, west, and southwest. This beautiful and isolated surf spot is accessed by a short 5-15 minute walk through the forest after turning off 10 km before Whanga. The area is a bird sanctuary, providing a serene backdrop for surfing. On weekdays, surfers can enjoy an empty lineup, while weekends see only a few fellow wave riders. However, caution is advised due to the presence of sharks in the waters.
