Oamaru Harbour is a surf spot located in New Zealand that offers a mix of waves for those looking to ride. The break is situated at the northeastern point of the harbour wall, and it's best suited for intermediate surfers. The surrounding area is easy to reach, making it a convenient stop for those traveling along the coast.

The surf here works best with a northeast swell, although it can handle southeast swells too. Expect waves to reach about 3ft (around 1 meter) when conditions are good. The break is over an uneven reef and sand, producing right-handed waves that can be a bit inconsistent. For a better ride, aim for mid to high tide, and keep an eye on south-west winds for optimal conditions.

When you're heading out, it's essential to be mindful of boat traffic in the area, especially as you navigate around the harbour entrance. After suiting up, it’s a quick walk out to the break, making it a decent option for a surf session. If the waves aren't working at the harbour, you might want to check the beaches to the south of the headland for other options.
