Welcome to Tairua Beach
Tairua is a renowned expert-level surf beach that draws some of the top surfers from New Zealand and around the world. It is a challenging beach. The bay can be calm as a lake or boast swells that see jet-ski tow in conditions for the brave surfer. Tidal conditions see ever changing rips, sand bars and lagoons appearing along the 1.6km beach.
