Detailed New Zealand surf forecast maps and the latest eyeball surf report from local surfers in the region. Near-shore swell is shown on the map together with the surf forecast rating for spots in New Zealand. Find the best places to surf in offshore conditions by selecting the wind option on the forecast map. Windsurfers and kite surfers can also use this option to find more favorable cross-shore conditions in New Zealand. Our local Wavefinder indicates where some of the best conditions are likely to be found in New Zealand over the next 7 days. Surf photos from New Zealand and reviews of the best spots and surfing conditions have been provided by local surfers.
