The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 44 km away. The sea is about 16°C in August, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 22°C in February, its warmest (5 mm wetsuit). The town to stay in is Tutukaka. Within 5 km we also list 15 dive sites.
