Te Oka Bay, Banks Peninsula - Kayaking in New Zealand

Knowing when to turn back....

This is Te Oka Bay small swell and calm winds last weekend.


By the time we reached the head the swell was two metres plus.  This was fine but it was pretty choppy so we couldn't get into the rock gardens.

The problem was we were being hammered by offshore winds, to the point of being knocked off balance.  You gotta know when to call it and just enjoy a picnic in the rain!


A few views from the top looking down into Tumbledown Bay, it calmed down when the tide came in.
