Tolaga Bay surf guide

Surf: The highlight of the average beachbreak at Tolaga Bay is the rivermouth bar, which can get hollow with a long right and shorter left. Directions: From Gisborne head east on Wainui Road State Highway 35. Continue north to Tolaga Bay then turn right onto Solander Street, down to the beach. Environment: In larger swells use the 600m wharf to get out back.
