This spot is fairly typical of this part of the coast, offering fairly average waves that suit everybody from beginners upwards. The scenery is pretty good here, and the atmosphere is relaxing.
This is part of a long sandy beach that only ever sees a few surfers, even at weekends and during the holidays. Water temperatures here will reach just over 20° C in summer, and dip to about 15° C in winter.
You need to catch this place on a rising tide for it to work properly, but when it does the swell will start at about 1 m and hold up to 2.5 m or more. It breaks both right and left over a sandbar, and the waves are pretty average in every respect having no real great speed or power. Length on most days will be short struggle to exceed 50 m, but if the conditions are just right it can be fairly long and may exceed 200 m or even approach 300 m.
There are no facilities on the beach here at all. In fact, just getting here can be difficult. Most of the land around is farmed and is private, so unless you know a farmer who will grant you access you will need to park at Pakiri Beach and walk north for a good hour or so. As mentioned earlier though this spot is typical of many around here and you may find it easier to head for one of those instead.
There is nothing to worry about here at all. Even the most nervous beginner will find it is safe.
