Waihau Bay Surf Guide
Waihau Bay in East Cape is a quite exposed beach and reef break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the south and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the north. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights and in addition there are both left and right reef breaks. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working.
