General Description

One of the best, and most well known, surf spots in New Zealand. Stent Road is a popular spot and for good reason. The wave is a right hand point break, fast breaking over boulders providing a bowling first section,then long whackable wall.
The spot cops plenty of swell,but starts breaking a little wide over 5ft,holds maybe 8-10ft if conditions are right.
Is a little to easy to access which is why it's always crowded when it's on,make sure you mind your manners and you should be ok.
