Blacks Reef surf guide

Surf: Blacks Reef is a good quality reef peak, with a nice barrel section. The rights are hollower and longer, but lefts appear in more SE-E swells. It is a super consistent stretch including the adjacent powerful beachbreaks and the Cliffs peaks. Well sheltered from the winds and it's usually better on the push. Directions: From Napier, head north on Pandora Road State Highway 2, onto Meeanee Quay and Main North Road out of the city. Continue on State Highway 2 through Wairoa, then at Nuhaka go straight through the roundabout onto Nuhaka Opoutama Road. Continue along and when the road meets the coast, just along a little bit there will be two car parks and a reef out front. park up and get out there. Environment: Gets crowded as it is closest spot from the north and west.
