Grants break
Edit SpotAbout
top quality wave ,if you are really keen on surfing some of NZ's finest i recomend either this or whiritoa
Atmosphere:
Its a great atmosphere, a really nice wave usually works best at about 1.5 m but holds really big.Just watch for the sharks as i have been told its a bit of a nesting area, but saying that you dont bother them they should be sweet.
Additional Info:
there is a local called grant that usually will be out there either fishing or on his cobra ( wave ski ) but its more of a shore break steep take off can be really hard take off.
