Taranaki

30+ surf breaks

Stent Road, swell-wrapping around the cape, year-round consistency

Mount Taranaki's near-perfect volcanic cone creates a unique swell-wrapping effect around the cape, giving the region some of New Zealand's most consistent and varied surf. Over 30 breaks — from hollow reef barrels to playful beach breaks — make Taranaki a surf Mecca. Stent Road is a world-class righthand reef.
