Located in The Wairarapa, The Desert is an exposed reef break with fairly consistent waves, though summer can be flat. The best swell comes from the southeast, and offshore winds blow from the north-northwest. This spot is rarely crowded but requires a wetsuit due to cold water. Surfers should be cautious of rips, rocks, and seals.
