Shippies Overview

Collection of outstanding left-hand point and reef breaks at Ahipara. Each spot demands unique combinations of swell and wind, though typically, massive long period SW swells are what you're after. Traveling further around the point reduces protection from both wind and swell. Optimal winds blow from the SE to SW. Show courtesy to both the local surfers and the natural surroundings. **The forecast graph data provided below applies to the open coast**
