Wainui Beach - Pines

Located in Gisborne, Pines at Wainui Beach is a premier surf spot known for its powerful beach and reef breaks. The waves, fueled by groundswells, work best with a south-southeast swell and northwest winds. Best surfed at mid-tide, the spot delivers both left and right-handers but can get crowded when conditions are prime. Surfers should be cautious of rocks, strong rips, and the advanced-level waves.
