Titahi Bay

Titahi Bay is a surf spot located in Wellington, New Zealand, on the Kapiti Coast near Porirua. The beach is about one kilometer long with a sandy bottom and offers regular surf conditions suitable for all levels of surfing experience. The main peaks are found at the southern end of the bay, where the best waves are usually found, and in the center in front of the surf club. The northern end, known as Fishmans and Slipperies, can produce hollow right-handers when the surf is bigger, while the southern end, called Pete’s Rock, offers a hollow left-hander. The main beach area is good for beginners, but the points at either end have rocks that can be a hazard. The spot provides both left and right waves. Surfing is possible at all tides, and the typical wave length is less than 50 meters. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards, and the Titahi Bay Surf Life Saving Club is located in the center of the bay. The area is known for a friendly local vibe, but it’s important to respect the locals, especially when the spot is crowded. Always check the surf etiquette and be mindful of swimmers in the lineup. Check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The beach is also popular for swimming and walking. To get to Titahi Bay from Wellington, head north on State Highway 1 for about 10-15 minutes, take the off-ramp into Porirua, turn left over the bridge and follow the road past Porirua Harbour until you reach Titahi Bay, then follow the signs to the beach. There are several carparks along the bay, with the southernmost carpark closest to the best waves.
