Fin Fucker surf guide

Fin Fucker is a surf spot located along the coast of New Zealand, known for its powerful waves and consistent conditions. It's not exactly famous for being the most perfectly shaped left, but it often delivers some of the biggest swells in the area. The surf here can get chunky, especially with size, so it's worth checking out if you’re looking for more action. You’ll also find a few more lefts on your way out to the lighthouse and the most westerly point of the North Island.

This break works best with a south-west swell, but it can also handle some north-west winds. The waves break over boulders, and you'll be riding mostly lefts, which can make for a fun session. It can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and goes up from there, so there’s usually something to ride. The preferred wind direction is east, which helps clean up the waves a bit. Mid to high tide will help you get the most out of this spot, so plan your session accordingly. This spot is best suited for intermediate surfers who have some experience under their belts.

The overall vibe at Fin Fucker is pretty chill and uncrowded, making it a nice place to catch your waves without too much hassle. Just remember that conditions can vary, so it’s always a good idea to check the surf report ahead of heading out.
