The Wave

The break is best read as a sandy beach with a rocky-point edge, many peaks, and punchy hollow shape when the east-to-southeast pulse and west-to-southwest offshore line up; mid tide on the rise gives the better shape.

Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.

Lineup Guide

Use Harper Road for the southern end access, expect parking at the beach, and remember that Waimārama is a lived-in coastal resort with swimmers, fishing, and beach driving rules in play.
