Frigates pumps all year round. Southern hemisphere winter swell offers consistantly larger surf from May - August, but Frigates exposed position to south swell means that there are smoking, uncrowded and glassy waves during the summer months of December - March. Swell travels up the Tasman sea between Australia and New Zealand, and takes 3.5 days from the top of the North Island of New Zealand before reaching us. Check the SwellMap forecast to see what's coming!
