The popular city beaches of The Bay of Plenty are home to South Africa's most intense surf scene. Consistent and hollow waves break on both S and E swells, typically breaking about 100m offshore between several rock jetties.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
