Spot currently openIntermediate level -37.64 | 176.03

Overview

Omokoroa Precious Reserve is a kitesurfing spot located in the Bay of Plenty, on the north coast of New Zealand's North Island. The spot is situated on the Omokoroa Peninsula, offering a semi-sheltered body of water in Tauranga Harbour. The dominant winds blow from the northwest and west, channeled by the peninsula's terrain. The summer sea breeze brings regular winds from the northeast to east sector. The body of water is relatively flat thanks to the protection offered by the peninsula, making this spot accessible to intermediate riders.
