if you are driving fast!!!!!!!

But definitely the best spot to hit if conditions are looking good. Check out this informative guide

www.newzealandnz.co.nz/surfing/

Also these days the surf reports websites give pretty reasonable predictions 3 to 5 days going forward. Wind is your enemy in NZ and as its an island with high mountains things can change very quickly so keep an eye on things and you should be sweet. These guys are pretty good usually. TB should be able to advise which one is best. Enjoy.
