This is the best The Desert webcam that we have found on the web. The The Desert surf cam and those surfcams nearby are not operated by surf-forecast.com, so please contact us if you find the The Desert surf cam is dead or frequently offline. Also, if you know of a better beach camera that points at a surf spot in the region, let us know. Webcams for The Desert and elsewhere along the The Wairarapa coast are useful as indicators for general surf conditions that affect other surf breaks in the region.
