 Additional Information

You can park your car right beside the beach. Public access from the road is permitted. Its a heavy beach break so take a longer board when the swell is up. When the swell is real big hit it from Mid to high tide, when its small try mid to low. Take shit loads of sunscreen as there is no ozone layer above the coromandel!

Atmosphere

Tairua like the rest of the Cormoandel is pretty inconsistent (unkile the west coast.) But when theres a swell running, with an offshore (consistent offshores in winter - the southwesterly) it can get real good and hollow. The banks like any beach break can be fickle, but on a good day I'd compare it to Hossegar France. Heavy tubes breaking on shallow banks. The best time of year is Feb - April when cyclones produce consistent swell for weeks on end. Crowds tend to be pretty thin (maybe in weekends a bit hectic) but the there's plenty to do other than surfing and the scenery (in all the coromandel) is world class
