Northland New Zealand Surfing

Northland New Zealand Surfing or the ‘winterless north’ is renowned for its beautiful, empty white sand beaches, crystal clear water and New Zealand’s warmest climate. Northland has one of New Zealand’s best and largest left hand point breaks; Shipwreck Bay or ‘Shippies’ as many call it.

Shippies consists of several rock bottom reef breaks stretching over two kilometres. There are many more hollow beach breaks in the Northland region producing classic A frame peaks. These waves are more isolated and unknown to the average surfer. To find out how to score perfect waves in Northland New Zealand, you’ll have to come along for the ride.

Marlborough New Zealand Surfing

Marlborough has numerous rocky peninsulas where the southern mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. In these waters, a complex marine ecosystem provides an ideal place for getting ‘up close with nature’. Marlborough’s epic right hand point breaks and river mouths are intensified by deep ocean trenches and tidal upwellings. These waves are scattered along the coast and again access is an issue. Knowledge of tides and river levels is key to scoring these dynamic surf breaks. The experienced Marlborough New Zealand surfing guides will make sure that you are surfing the right place at the right time.

East Coast New Zealand Surfing

While not as famous as the long left hand point breaks of Raglan, East Coast New Zealand Surfing’s reputation for its consistence, copping the full brunt of southerly, easterly and northerly swells make it a top destination. Due to its remote location and relaxed atmosphere there is the opportunity to score pumping uncrowded waves with just your own crew.

Gisborne is home to high quality, powerful, hollow barrelling beach breaks, comparable to France and Mexico. Gisborne is a great launching point for exploring. It is the gateway to both the isolated East Cape and the fabled Mahia Peninsula. These areas are extremely remote and a wrong turn could result in a fruitless drive on long winding dirt roads and possibly meeting unwelcoming landowners. A local New Zealand surf guide is essential to access these world class reefs, river mouths and points.

Consisting of three left hand points, peeling mechanically over volcanic reefs and boulders for hundreds of metres. Raglan is consistently surfable in a variety of conditions.
