East End

East End is a bay-facing spot located on New Zealand's northern coastline, with the water body oriented toward the northeast. The spot benefits from a curved bay formation that provides some wind protection while maintaining decent fetch for kitesurfing. The coastline features a mix of residential development and green spaces, with visible rocky sections along the shore. The shallow water conditions visible in the satellite imagery suggest this is primarily suited for lighter wind sessions and beginner to intermediate riders. Wind reliability is relatively low at 7.4%, indicating this is a secondary spot that works best during specific wind patterns. Northeast winds (315°) provide ideal side-shore conditions for safe riding. Wave heights average 1.63m, which is modest but manageable for skill development. Water conditions appear relatively sheltered compared to fully exposed ocean breaks. Kiters should be aware of shallow zones near the beach and potential obstacles from rocky outcrops. Access may be constrained by residential areas, so permission and local knowledge are essential.
