Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Eastern Beach, New Zealand is a
Shallow, Flat, Chop and Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Tidal size.
A mixture of sand and shells. 1.5km long and about 15m wide at mid tide. Big high tide reduces width to a few meters. Low tide flats are 200m wide. High tide is tricky for launching and landing kite. This beach is ENE facing.
Water is flat to large chop depending of direction and strength. Very strong NE brings head high chop. When wind isn't too strong water quality is good but when stormy sewerage can overflow into water (no excuse to not kite however). When sideshore the chop is real clean. Mid tide is best for learning, low tide is good especially when sideshore. High tide is great if powered up but for experts only.
