The Wave
Best with southwest wind and east-northeast swell.
The bay works at all stages of the tide, so pick the bank and wind rather than waiting for a narrow tide window.

Pareparea Bay
Pareparea Bay is a broad Northland bay break with a low-noise beach identity and enough consistency to stay relevant when the right east-northeast pulse lines up. It is the kind of Whananaki-area check that feels coastal and roomy rather than like a single fixed point.
