Tahunanui
New Zealand • South Island
/ year
N-NE sea breeze starting in the afternoon at around 2-3 pm until 6-7 pm. Generally 15-20 knots from September to April. Best at low tide for kitesurfing, wing foiling, kite foiling, and windsurfing. Extra 5knots thanks to tidal current in the channel.
Occasionally SW wind comes down the valley too.
Best from Sep – Apr.
It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
