Surfing Shipwreck Bay

Listed under Surfing in North Island, New Zealand.

Basically a series of three left point breaks. Breaks well only rarely and only when big (over 8'). A challenging wave for experienced surfers only. Likely not to be too crowded, but don't go there on spec in the hope of a wave as it's very unlikely you'll be lucky. Follow weather maps and surf websites first.
