New Zealand is a cold-water surf paradise surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Raglan on the North Island is the country's most famous wave, a long, perfect left-hand point break that has become an icon of Southern Hemisphere surfing. Taranaki's coastline delivers multiple quality point breaks in the shadow of Mount Taranaki's volcanic cone. The east coast of the North Island around Gisborne catches a wide swell window. The South Island's west coast receives powerful Tasman Sea swells that break on remote, wild beaches backed by snow-capped Southern Alps. Water temperatures range from 12C to 20C depending on region and season. New Zealand's uncrowded lineups, dramatic landscapes, and adventurous spirit make it one of the most rewarding surf destinations in the world.
