Waimarie Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(New-Zealand – West Coast)

Surf-default-break-image
Name: Waimarie
Type: beach/river bar
Reliability: inconsistent
Best Swell: WNW Offshore Wind: E

Waimarie in North West Coast is an exposed beach/river bar break that has unreliable waves with no particular seasonal pattern. The best wind direction is from the east. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the west northwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.
