I have not had my eye on this spot long enough to complete this section accurately. There seems to be wind mostly year around. It seems to be the preferred beach when the winds are anything towards S-SSW-SW.

Tapuae Marine Reserve, New Zealand is a
Shallow, Chop and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Tidal size.
It is near the cliffs. I was told that when the tide is high, the cliffs can cause the wind to go "funny".
The place has a fantastic setting! When clear, it has a great view of the mountain. There are waves and short flats between the waves depending on the tide and the sand bar some 50 m out! Close to car park with grass area. It is a river mouth (small river at the time I checked it).
