- This break is just by Moturiki Island, which is a small rocky area that sticks out from the beach and seems to cause some interesting conditions as it catches the swells. When it goes off you can get some very big waves, although they aren't particularly difficult and will suit everybody apart from outright beginners.
- Typical of the east coast, this can suffer from a lack of swell but when it does break it can give decent sized waves that are suitable for surfers of all experience levels.
- This place is worth a try if the surf is too small for the usual spot further north to work. It is suitable for all experience levels, though it can be fickle and predicting when it is going to break needs you to keep a close eye on the weather forecasts.
- This doesn't break very often but when it does you'll find the waves are very consistent and a lot of fun. The headline tends to protect it most of the time, so it tends to only work when the swell is getting very big elsewhere.
- This is one of the old school surf spots that no longer fires like it used to but can still give a fun day out.
