Papatea Bay Surf Guide
Papatea Bay in East Cape is an exposed beach break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights together with both left and right hand reef breaks offshore. Good surf at all stages of the tide. The location means that it never gets crowded.
