Auckland - Big Manly Beach

Location: Big Manly Beach - Whangaporoa
Access from: The Esplenade
Wind Direction: N, NW
Level: Beginner to advanced

 

Great beach for Learning at Low to Mid tide but there is no beach at High tide so stay clear during this time. Shallow water and fairly flat conditions at mid to low. Beware of rocks close to shore in the centre of the beach. Works best in a Northerly, NW can be gusty. Can get very crowded on weekends.
