Port Waikato-Sunset beach

Located on New Zealand's West Coast near Auckland, Port Waikato-Sunset Beach is a popular beach break with consistent waves. The best conditions occur with southwest swells and east-southeast winds, producing both left and right-handers. Mid-tide rising tides enhance the surf, though crowded conditions and dangerous rips require caution. With moderate water temperatures around 21.5°C, it's a welcoming spot for surfers of all levels.
