Awatoto and Haumoana feature river mouths with gravel beds, situated mere kilometers from each other. The shifting banks offer potential for exceptional sessions. Typically, these spots thrive on an E or SE swell, the push of an incoming tide, and WSW offshore breezes. The direction of the waves, left or right, hinges on the gravel configurations.
