Green Meadows is a surf spot hidden about 3 km south of New Plymouth. It features a long right pointbreak and is accessible by walking down a creek to the beach. This spot attracts surfers looking for a bit of adventure, as it often offers some barrels on the inside when the conditions are right. It's important to note that you'll need to make your way past some uneven reef, so be prepared for that.

The wave at Green Meadows works best on a low tide and picks up swell easily, especially from the southwest, southeast, and northwest directions. It can handle swell sizes of around 3 ft (about 1 meter) but is better suited for expert surfers. To really get the most out of the waves here, you'll need to have good speed and positioning to navigate the sections effectively.

When you're heading out to surf, the best wind direction is northeast, which will help create cleaner conditions. There are also other reef options in the area, so if Green Meadows doesn’t seem right, there are plenty of alternatives within this stretch of coast.
