All around here are small tracks leading through farms to the ocean and waves. Always ask permission before crossing someone's property and close all farm gates. The area swarms with decent reefs; Paora Road, Stent Road or Weld Road are the best known. Most of the waves here need a high tide and an offshore wind, (although a couple of them can handle SW winds), and they can also hold big waves.

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.
