Port Waikato Left surf guide

Surf: At the south end of Sunset Beach, Port Waikato's current scoured beach terminates at the headland cliffs where a throaty lefthand point breaks on the rocks below. Powerful walls and hollow sections when the sand joins the rocky fingers. Transient peaks on the beachbreak before the onshore hits late morning. Directions: Port Waikato is located on the points south or Sunset Beach, on the south side of the Waikato River mouth. From Auckland head south on State Highway 1. Turn right onto Helenslee Road, exit 476. Continue right onto Munro Road, then turn right onto Pokeno Road. Continue onto Whangarata Road. In Tuakau, turn left onto River Road, cross the Waikato River then turn right onto Tuakau Bridge-Port Waikato Road. At Port Waikato turn right onto Maunsell Road and follow this down to the beach. From here its a walk round to the point. Environment: Advanced to expert surfers only as the entry off the rocks is sketchy and locals intolerant.
