Visitor Reviews of Omaha Beach and Bar


bushpig from NEW ZEALAND writes:

This break only has anything on it when the swell is coming from the the east. However the reports for Omaha are also applicable for the neighboring Tawharanui break which is a bit more consistent with it being open to the more common northerly swell.

I would like to point out that the Omaha bar doesn't exist any more .
