Stent Road Tides
With Mount Taranaki as its backdrop, Stent Road is one of the region's premier reef breaks, delivering powerful, hollow waves that demand respect. The tide range here is substantial — the exposed reef shelf means the break transforms completely between high and low, making tide timing essential for the perfect session.
