Orere Point Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(New-Zealand – Auckland East Coast)

Surf-default-break-image
Name: Orere Point
Type: point
Reliability: rarely breaks
Best Swell: NE Offshore Wind: W

Orere Point in Auckland East Coast is a sheltered beach break. Spring and Summer provide the favoured conditions. The best wind direction is from the west. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. Waves at the beach break both left and right. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Beware of urchins and rocks.

Secret spot? We can hide it!

Visitor Reviews of Orere Point


Moggy from AUSTRALIA writes:

Swell required is long period NNW to NNE from a Cyclone or deep low directly North of NZ. Three separate waves here: Gravel bottomed right in front of stream, cobblestone peak immediately East of stream mouth, and Left reef/point. Attracts big crowd of surfers whenever swell big enough, so don't expect to surf it on your own. All three waves here are fun, and the stream mouth right can be deceptively powerful. Orere Beach immediately west of stream is straighthanded closeout only suited to beginners. Good luck catching this place on! Very fickle and rare.
