| Type: | beach |
| Reliability: | very consistent |
| Best Swell: SW | Offshore Wind: ENE |
Ruapuke in West Coast Auckland is an exposed beach break that is usually a safe bet and works all around the year. Offshore winds are from the east northeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. 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. Watch out for dangerous rips.
