Fish 0 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Ugly? going to be the best waves we've had at Orewa all year... Finally, east coast surfing. But yeah, not so good for keel boat sailing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Should be good waves either side of that peak swell though. Might phone in sick on Monday am.... I'm hoping there is enough S in the SE so its cross shore. Red Beach could work.

Pity about the wind really, going to bugger up a lot of places. Imagine half of gissy and 90% of towelranga will be battling to find a park at Motu rivermouth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of north facing corners in coro and northland if you are prepared to drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wrap into Whangapoua? Still triggers the surf fever in me even with body deficit, seeing a dartboard like that. Got to be happy i've had my share. Hard not to get excited about a system like that hey lateral, esp when it sits and churns for several days, how often does that happen! Whangapoua on the coro won't be any good, s.e bowls straight in there, few miles east will be worth a look though. Northport wave buoy showing a lift already - https://northport.co.nz/weatherfeed Best place to be tomorrow will be 45mins west of Hamilton, 16s period swell, perfect offshore and every man and his dog heading east. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ex Machina 365 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 The reef off taiharuru head has just started breaking ….in the 15 years I’ve been here I’ve never seen it break . Shallowest pin out there is 16 metres ! My guesstimate is it must be about 15 foot ….surfers 15 foot not tape measure 15 foot 😂 . I’ve seen an old paper chart with a warning to “avoid in rough weather” over that reef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
