Wairo point
Edit SpotAbout
gnarly when surf is good.
Atmosphere:
6 am surfs with dolphins everywhere. and sometimes the occasional barrels.
Additional Info:
THis surf break is very hidden away, but it is starting to become more well known. a lot of the time it is small or too rough, but when it's good, it's good! also you can jump off the point to get into the swell pretty easily saving you the effort.
