Surf Tora

Tora - North Island, New Zealand Tora features powerful, hollow waves breaking over a rocky reef, offering both right and left-hand rides. The spot is accessible from Martinborough, with instant access to the surf within a 5-minute walk. It works well at all tides, with optimal conditions from swells coming from the southwest to northeast and favorable winds from the northwest to west. This isolated surf destination is known for its uncrowded waves, making it ideal for those seeking solitude. The area includes various breaks, such as Bombora, Styx, and Shipwrecks, each offering unique wave characteristics. Tora Point, in particular, provides a long right point break that requires at least a head-high swell. Surfers should be cautious of sharp rocks and respect the local community, as only a handful of surfers frequent this remote location. Remember to bring booties and food, as amenities are limited.
