Newdicks Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Good fun on its day Camp ground at Bedisloe Beach (just south of Maketu) nice friendly people.
Atmosphere:
Make sure you have checked your weather & swell map before going here as it does not get heaps of swell. We surfed the day after the cyclone swell hit. The photos are well into the afternoon. The next day no swell & no one out!! Probably the other side of the headland north gets more swell.
Additional Info:
Smile at the locals. Some guys live here that are pretty hardy.
I think the places need a bit of swell not typical of this coast, but on this day it was fun.
