Puheke Beach surf guide

Puheke Beach is located on the Karikari Peninsula on the east coast of Northland, New Zealand. It’s a pretty accessible spot, especially if you’re coming from Kaitaia. Just head north on North Road, take a few turns, and you’ll find yourself at the beach. This area is known for its stunning views, and it’s a popular place for all kinds of water activities.

The surf at Puheke Beach can work well with North, NorthEast, and East swells, which can deliver waves between 1ft (0.3m) and a bit larger. The breaks here come over sand, making it a good choice for beginners. You can catch left and right waves, but it's best to surf during low or mid tides for the best conditions. When the wind is coming from the South, it tends to work even better, providing a fun experience in the water.

Besides surfing, the beach is popular for other activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kiteboarding, making it a lively spot with plenty of options for water enthusiasts. It’s a decent place to hang out if you want to enjoy a day at the beach with friends or family.
