Farmers - Tokomaru Bay
Edit SpotAbout
Good all rounder beach break - it almost killed me twice!
Atmosphere:
No suit required in the summer - but cold in the winter. A three hour session will give you brass monkeys and blkue toes in mid winter.
Additional Info:
Good waves that can go from gentle ankle snapping longboard groovers right through to 6-8' clean summer right hand tubes through to storm driven wintery 12'+ grinders.
If you surf Farmers it during a storm get some good life insurance first.
