Titahi Bay

Titahi Beach is a popular location and there is a solid residential base that provides many of the beaches users. It is very common to have large numbers of people swimming during the summer months and there are good numbers of surfers in the water whenever there is a wave breaking. The beach although not commonly having powerful waves or strong rips is still dangerous for inexperienced beach users and patrons should remain in the patrolled area and seek advice from the Lifeguards in doubt.

Ratings

Family friendly

This beach is well suited for families, make sure your family is prepared for the beach conditions, the beach is patrolled by Surf Lifeguards during the summer months.

Swimming

Swimming at Titahi Bay is popular during the warmer summer months. The beach is very sheltered and only gets surf during strong onshore winds that form northwest swells. The beach slopes gently into the ocean allowing swimmers to get a good distance into the water. Rips and holes form during swell periods so swimmers should be careful when waves are present and should always swim in the Lifeguard Patrolled area.

Surfing

Surfing is a popular activity at Titahi Bay although the waves are not of a very high quality. They are good for learning surfers and convenient for many Porirua surfers. Titahi Bay is a beach break that can be surfed on all tides and during periods of onshore winds is generally the time to go there.

Fishing

Surfcasting from the beach is possible but not popular. Fishing from the rocky headland is good but fishermen attempting this need to be cautious as Titahi Bay is a surf beach. Boats can be launched from the beach allowing fishermen to get to the most productive fishing.

Beach Water Quality

Many councils provide the results of their weekly monitoring. This lets people know what the most recent bacteria levels were. Remember, even sites with low risk can be unsuitable to swim at from time to time and we recommend that you avoid swimming for 48 hours after heavy rainfall.
