Surfing in Northland is a great experience. It can receive swell from almost 300°. There are numerous beaches, points and reefs that pick up a swell. an added bonus is the peninsula is relatively narrow and at the widest point its less then an hours drive from the east to the west, meaning its not difficult for surfers to find a spot where the wind and swell are compatible for good waves. Add to this the clear warm sub-tropical waters, un-crowded beaches and the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, which leads you to most of the best surf locations, here you have the ingredients for an unforgettable surf mission in the making. Hire a campervan or motor home, take your time and settle into the Northland pace of life.
See Northlands accommodation to check and pre-book a hot shower and a comfortable bed on your Northland surf mission. |
