Lake Pupuke is a small freshwater volcanic lake located in North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand. The circular morphology visible in satellite imagery indicates a crater lake formation, surrounded entirely by residential suburbs. The spot functions as an enclosed lake system with minimal ocean influence, making it a protected inland water body. The very low wind reliability (5.4%) and modest average wind speed (6.5 knots) indicate this location experiences inconsistent conditions for kitesurfing. Average wave height of 0.34m suggests extremely small swell generation, typical of enclosed freshwater systems. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore access from the eastern shoreline. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected, flat-water practice conditions away from ocean swell and strong currents. However, limited wind availability and small fetch distance mean sessions may be infrequent. Kiters should be aware of surrounding residential property boundaries, potential recreational boat traffic, and shallow water near vegetated shores. Local regulations regarding water sports access should be verified before visiting.
