Waihau Bay Surf Guide
Waihau Bay in East Cape is a quite exposed beach and reef break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the south and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Clean groundswells prevail and the best swell direction is from the north. The beach break provides left and right handers and in addition there are both left and right reef breaks. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working.
