Te Akau surf guide

Te Akau is a surf spot located on a gravel road leading to a high tide beachbreak. It's situated north of Raglan and features a lonely, isolated vibe. The road to get there takes you through some nice scenery, so it’s worth the journey if you’re looking for a quiet session away from the more crowded places.

The surf at Te Akau works best with smaller swells, ideally around 1 ft (0.3 meters). The spot can handle swells coming from the SouthWest and NorthWest. You can catch both left and right waves, which adds some variety to your surfing. The beachbreak works best at high tide and prefers an east wind. It’s generally suitable for intermediate surfers, so if you're just starting out, keep that in mind.

Be aware that there are some scattered rocks in the area, adding a bit of challenge to your ride. The currents can also influence your experience, so it’s a good idea to be cautious and aware of your surroundings. Overall, Te Akau offers a decent spot for those looking to enjoy some waves without the hustle of busier beaches.
