The Wave
East-northeast is the clean side, west swell is the main trigger, and the beach works best when tide and wind line up without too much cross-shore.

Baylys Beach
Baylys Beach is a long exposed Northland west-coast beach with multiple peaks, so the character comes from the whole shoreline rather than one sharply defined takeoff. It is sandy, changeable, and best thought of as a classic open beach check with room to breathe. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Baylys Beach in Northland.
