Location Details

The Taranaki region, especially as it is situated on the west coast, is known for its big waves. New Plymouth's swells in particular average around 2.5 metres while wind is usually from the westerly direction and above 10 knots. A few small islands are located north of Port Taranaki. The climate is warm and moist.

Local Knowledge

The best time for kitesurfing is during the months from October to January. Beware of hazards in the water and on the beach - due to its volcanic history, New Plymouth has a quantity of rocks and boulders to watch out for. Fitzroy Beach consisits of black sand but nearby beaches are white sand.
