Wanganui River Mouth

Located where the Wanganui River meets the ocean, this break features powerful left-handers that work at all tide stages. The waves suit advanced surfers due to strong currents and river traffic hazards. West swells create the best conditions, while offshore northeast winds keep the surf clean. Water temperatures remain moderate year-round, and the spot rarely gets crowded despite its quality. Surfers should be cautious of rips and boat traffic near the river mouth.
