Tora-Bombora

Tora-Bombora is a reef break in The Wairarapa that rewards surfers with powerful left-hand waves when conditions are just right. The spot works best with southeast swells and northwest winds, particularly around high tide. While summer can be flat, the mix of groundswells and windswells creates exciting opportunities for intermediate surfers. The area is rarely crowded, but submerged rocks pose a hazard, requiring caution. Water temperatures hover around 17°C, so a wetsuit is essential.
