🥝 Oh, and Foxton Beach Too
Kiwi crew—we didn't forget about you! Foxton Beach on the Kapiti Coast is now available. Admittedly, not the most incredible place to surf, but if it's your local add it to your favorites to keep an eye on it!
Here's the thing: every one of these spots has been painstakingly studied to ensure the forecasts are as accurate as possible. We've mapped swell directions, wind angles, and all the unique quirks that make each break special.
