A hidden Coromandel beach between Whangamatā and Waihī Beach, Whiritoa is a locals' favourite with a powerful shore break and consistent swell. Its tides are shaped by the same Pacific rhythms as its neighbours, but the steep, dark sand creates a different, more dramatic tide experience.
“So happy with my Iso Tides print! It was the perfect meaningful gift, and it looks so good in my dad’s office. He’s stoked with it! Arrived quick and is super high quality ❤️”

Stormier, less consistent but bigger when it arrives.
Mixed bag — some days firing, some flat.
