Pines surf guide

Pines is a surf spot located to the west of Kaitaia, known for its mellow vibe. It's a pretty nice place for those looking to escape the crowds, especially since getting there requires a bit of a trek. This means you'll often find more space to catch some waves, making it a solid pick for surfers wanting a more relaxed session.

The surf at Pines works best with swells coming from the SouthWest and West, and it can handle swell sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). The waves here tend to break over uneven reefs and sand, offering both point breaks and some lefts to ride. Low tide is the preferred time to surf, as thatโ€™s when the conditions can really come together. It's generally suited for intermediate surfers, making it a decent spot for those looking to work on their skills.

When you're making your way to Pines, you'll notice the long walk tends to keep the crowds down, which is a plus. The drive takes you along some scenic parts of the coastline, and by the time you arrive, you should find a nice little spot to park. If you're looking for a surf session away from the busier beaches, Pines could be worth checking out.
