Ward Beach Surf Guide
Ward Beach in Kaikoura and Marlborough is a fairly exposed beach break that has reasonably consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the southeast. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Best around low tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Take care of the strong rips here.
