Auckland Surfing Travel Tips

  • Visit in late December, just before New Zealand’s sunny Christmas, to witness the Auckland Surfing Champs competition in Piha.
  • Although you can surf year-round in New Zealand (Auckland water temperatures range from 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer to 54 degrees in winter), the main surf season runs from mid-October through May.
  • Find the surf spots with a local: New Zealand Surf 'n' Snow Tours runs surf tours in the Auckland and Northland regions that last one to fifteen days.
  • For real-time web cams of Auckland wave conditions, visit www.surf.co.nz.
