Hawea Whitewater Park

Hawea Whitewater Park

Hawea River at Camp Hill Bridge

Man made river wave in the Hawea River. Two size options with a smaller beginner wave at the top and the more advanced wave closer to the Camp Hill Bridge. Perfect for play kayaks, surfboards, and boogie boards. 


For the best surfing experience it is best to visit when the flow is between 80 cumecs (smaller wave less intimidating) to 140 cumecs (big wave, intimidating, better for more experienced surfers). Updates on the flow level are posted online to the website linked above or at @haweawhitewater on twitter.
