Surf Te Arai Point

Te Arai Point - New Zealand Te Arai Point features a beach break with both right and left-hand waves over a sandy bottom. The waves are known for being hollow, fast, and fun, particularly at mid and high tide during a rising tide. Access is straightforward, with instant access available within 5 minutes from the parking area. Located on the east coast north of Auckland, Te Arai Point is a hidden gem that attracts surfers from the city, especially on weekends. The spot is relatively uncrowded, providing a relaxed atmosphere for surfers of all skill levels. While it can handle various conditions, larger swells may lead to closeouts, prompting some surfers to seek alternatives like Goat Island. The surrounding area also offers additional peaks along Pakiri Beach, making it a versatile destination for those willing to explore.
