The Fences Surf Guide

TheFences in Wanganui-Manawatu is a fairly exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the west. There is a right hand reef break. Best around mid tide. It very rarely gets crowded here.
