Sky Williams surf guide

Sky Williams is a surf spot located in Taranaki, New Zealand, a bit south of New Plymouth. It’s known for its left-hand point break that offers surfers a decent ride when conditions are right. The spot can deliver some fun waves but isn't always consistent, making it a place that’s hit or miss depending on the day. Accessing the beach involves a short walk from the parking area near the small stream, and it’s pretty easy to find once you follow the creek down. Pay attention to the tides when planning your session, as it works best on low tide.

When the conditions align, Sky Williams can offer a nice ride that hugs the fringing reef. Surfers generally hit the waves when the swell comes from the SouthWest, which tends to produce the best results. The waves can handle sizes around 2ft (approximately 0.6 meters), and you can expect some varying lengths on your ride. If the swell comes from the South, you might get a smoother, long pony trek, while a NorthWest swell could lead to shorter, faster rides. The area is mainly for intermediate surfers since it requires some skill to navigate the reef and avoid the nasty rocks. Generally, the best wind direction is from the NorthEast.

Overall, Sky Williams presents a fun challenge for those who are comfortable in the water. Just be cautious about the rocky environment, and make sure you’re familiar with the area before hitting the waves. Enjoy the ride and stay sharp out there!
