Kapiti Island is out off the Kapiti Coast and is only accessible by private boat. Kapiti Island offers several breaks, a left hand point break off the north east point of the island, then anoth left hand point break mid way down the east coast of the island, and a right hand point break off the south east point of the island. All breaks are on rocky points. The north and mid breaks work on a north west swell with a southerly wind, and offer powerful, hollow, waves. The north point produces a lot longer, fast waves. The mid break has shorter, barreling waves.

Titahi Bay is a popular beach on the Kapiti Coast near Porirua. It is a sandy beach break that offers fun waves for both mals and shortboards. When it's bigger, you can paddle out at the northern point of the beach, known as Fishmans and Slipperies, which offers hollow or wally right-handers. The southern point, known as Pete's Rock, offers a hollow, gnarly left-hander. Watch out for rocks at the points. The main beach is good for beginners. This is a popular beach, so know the rules and respect the locals. Watch out for swimmers.
