Newdicks Beach is a beach break on the Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. It’s a scenic, relatively exposed surf spot with a laid-back, small-town feel and a mix of surf and beach-day appeal.

Surf character

Type: Beach break
Best for: Beginners to intermediate surfers, depending on the day
Wave shape: Can offer fun, playful peaks with some hollow sections when the sand banks line up
Consistency: Fairly exposed, so it can pick up swell, but conditions depend a lot on wind and sand movement
Crowds: Usually lighter than many more famous NZ surf breaks

Conditions

Swell: Works best with groundswell or moderate short-period swell hitting the beach at the right angle
Wind: Offshore winds help clean it up; onshore winds can quickly make it messy
Tide: Sandbars shift, so the best tide varies, but mid-tide is often a good place to start

Beach and surroundings

Newdicks Beach is known more broadly as a beautiful, remote-feeling coastal spot with a wide sandy shoreline and classic Coromandel scenery. It’s good for a relaxed surf session, a swim, or just enjoying the coast.

Things to know

Conditions can change quickly because the beach relies on sandbanks.
It’s best to check local reports before heading out.
Since it’s a beach break, it may be more forgiving than reef or point breaks, but currents and rips can still be present.
