Whanganui & Manawatu
North Island13+ surf breaks
Foxton Beach, exposed beach breaks, Tasman swell
Long stretches of exposed black-sand beach receive consistent Tasman swell. Foxton Beach is the pick of the region — a fast, punchy beach break that gets busy on good days. The Manawatu Gorge creates interesting wind effects, and the region is often overlooked by travelling surfers which means uncrowded waves.
