- This river mouth is a fairly laid back kind of place, but you'll need to check out conditions before you come here as the waves depend on the sandbanks and their condition. It is suitable for everybody and on a good day is one of the best spots in the north.
- This is one of those spots where time seems to just disappear and before you know it you're watching the sun disappear behind the horizon. It's a beautiful place to be and is suitable for all surfers.
- This area is one of the fastest-growing in New Zealand, and is also one of the most expensive places to live. It doesn't have the most consistent surf, but when it works the waves are decent and can be quite long. It is suitable for all levels of experience.
- This is a place for experienced surfers only, and although it’s fickle and breaks only rarely it does provide big waves that are probably the closest that New Zealand gets to Hawaii.
- This doesn’t break too often, you’re most likely to get decent surfing when a storm is passing through, but on the occasions it does go there are some large sized waves to be had. Outright beginners will probably find it a bit much to handle, but everyone else will be ok here.
- This is a place for pros only, or maybe anyone who is happy to take on a break that comes in right beside some big, solid rocks. It’s kind of an eerie place, very secluded, but can catch some decent waves when everywhere else on the coast is just a bit choppy.
- This place might not be as good as it used to be, but if you happen to be here when the sandbars are in the right place you are in for a treat. It’s pretty isolated and there isn’t much to do here except surf, fish or bushwalk, so make sure you are happy sitting quiet before making any plans, just in case you need to wait for the surf to come up.
- This might not break very often, but when it does it is fantastic spot. If you do find yourself here waiting for the surf, you can spend the time snorkelling, watching the huge variety of wildlife, or just gazing at the fantastic scenery.
-
Ocean in New ZealandOcean Beach is a little bit more consistent than many of the nearby spots, and is generally still surfable when other places are flat or choppy. It has a really good atmosphere and is suitable for everybody although those with a lot of experience may not find it much of a challenge.
- This is one of the bigger waves in the area, but despite this it is still suitable for all experience levels as there is nothing particularly challenging about it. It's a convenient spot as it is right on the edge of a decent sized town and doesn't require too much planning to reach, unlike many of the other North Island spots.
- Just to the north of Tacapuna and into Milford is this little spot. It doesn't break very often but can be decent when it does. The location itself is quite interesting, with a volcanic landscape and even some fossilised trees if you look carefully.
- Once famous for the controversy surrounding the sinking of the Greenpeace flagship, Rainbow Warrior, this area is now becoming known again for its fantastic marine life. If you are waiting for the surf to break the snorkelling here is excellent. For surfers, it is suitable for all levels of experience.
- This spot is probably a bit better than the average on the North Island, and it is still suitable for everybody from beginners upwards.
- This is a convenient urban surf spot that is right on the edge of North Shore city in the Auckland region. It tends to be a bit sloppy and isn't all that consistent, but when it works it can give decent sized waves that are suitable for everybody.
- This can be a bit of a fickle spot and although it isn't as consistent as many other northern places it is still decent, if small, on its day. There won't be much to challenge experienced surfers, but beginners will like it and it is really convenient too as it is located just in one of the Auckland suburbs.
- This could well be one of the most picturesque beaches around, even by New Zealand's high standards. It's a relaxing place to surf with some fantastic views, and is suitable for everybody from beginners upwards.
- This is a pretty remote spot that can make you feel like you're the only person in the world. It is one of the few big wave spots in the north, and is suitable for those with a bit of experience.
- One of only a handful of big wave spots in New Zealand, this is one for the pros, or at least those who have little or no sense of self-preservation. It tends to break when the tropical storms roll through so it doesn't happen very often but if you are in the area when it does it can be one of the best waves you can surf in the area.
- This is a pretty sheltered spot at the mouth of a river, and although it doesn't break very often when it does it gives good consistent waves. It is a place where those who prefer quality waves rather than big waves will feel at home.
- 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.
- Playa D'en Bossa is the main beach on the island of Ibiza so it is very popular with surfers, wind surfers and kite surfers of all levels and abilities. The summer months of May through to September are heavily restricted so you will have to pick your times carefully. Obviously being a tourist destination, it gets packed with sun worshippers and bathers during the summer season. The best times to go are from October through to April when the tourists have gone and there are no restrictions. There is ample parking very close by.
