Huia, New Zealand is a
Shallow, Chop and Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
The beach is about 200m long and flanked by cliffs/hills etc. The beach is sandy with plenty of room to launch/land. There is a reserve for easy landing of kites. Unlike many other spots dotting the headlands, this place is very safe. However there are power lines overhanging the far right hand end of the beach. Needless to say this area is best avoided.
Small to medium sized very clean chop. The water is pretty clean and this place works at all tides but is best at high tide.
