Cliffs Surf Guide
Cliffs in Gisborne and Mahia is a quite exposed reef break that does not work very often with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds blow from the north northeast with some shelter here from northeast winds. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the south. There is no reef break. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days.
