The Desert Surf Guide
The Desert in The Wairarapa is an exposed reef break that has quite consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds blow from the north northwest and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Able to handle light onshore wind Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southeast. There is no reef break. It very rarely gets crowded here. Hazards include rips, rocks, seals.
