I got worked there - I remember as a teenager getting worked at Daniels. I was totally schooled and definately got pummeled by the reef. However, saying that, this is 10 + years later of surfing now so maybe it wasn't that big?
Anyway, fond memories of Daniels and all the northern spots. I remember 4 wd parking on the beach at forrestries and surfing my own a-frames...

When good reefs go bad - It rarely gets heavy you say.Well when it does its a F&$#ing monster and kids dont try this at home i caught the biggest wave of the day at mid tide when it was roaring,slipped and landed flat on my ass. I couldnt walk straight for a week

watch out - this place can get super dodgy with 5 footers breaking in no-more than 1-2 foot of water. especially in one area where there are a couple of rocks almost poking out the water near that rocky headland thing

Rarely heavy - Daniels is rarely heavy...usually pretty mellow. however the lefts can get super heavy and hollow on an incoming low tide with are reasonable swell. Right is a workable fatty, just like yo momma.

What the? - What the fuck are all you morons up to over there,

Everyone knows Daniels cranks when it wants to, the right swell direction a straight easterly and a light nor-west and your in!

How do I know this? because I've fucken surfed the shit out of it! Assholes.

Anyway unless theres a tropical cyclone, no Eastcoast beach would get over 2 ft, so shut the fuck up you dopy bastardos!

Way back when - Stayed in the old house on Mathesons Bay point about 1964, after I had first started surfing, there was an old black and white photo on the wall of Daniels with swell lines out to the horizon so it must get huge in the right swell. Surfed it quite a few times over the years to the 80's, when it was reasonably big and it always had power generated off the rock bottom. Goat Island was the go then, seemed to get more swell somehow, same for Waipu Cove, Langs and Mangawhai. Still, Daniels has something about it, especially the left. Never got it totally figured out, depends a lot on swell direction, sometimes with a big swell a bit disappointing, just a big wall crashing on to the rocks, othertimes, real nice. That's the east coast for you. Back home for a Milo.

no title - I uset to live at daniels surfed it in all sorts of conditions at all times of year an I don't think nun of yas in Auckland know shit about it, how big it can actually crank,way out out past third reef hooking up to mathersons island, sum days it is cranking and forgiving but others its heavy as, and can work you good on the inside, all gashes, cuts an shit. I think the city clowns only ever seem to start turnin up when the surf report says its good. so many good days go by up here with maybe 1 other out but come after 5:00 or the weekend an BBBBAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
