Beach Info
Waimairi is a popular beach for most recreational activities, particularly in summer. Good facilities are available for use. The safest conditions are in surf conditions under 1 metre, but all users should be constantly aware of the conditions as the exposed nature of the coastline means dangerous rip currents and holes can develop quickly. Lifeguards patrol the beach throughout the summer weekends, and during the weekdays of the school holiday summer break period.
