This live camera looks out over Foxton Beach, a long sandy shore on the Manawatū coast of the North Island. It suits anyone planning a surf check, a beach walk or simply curious how the Tasman Sea looks today. The stream is provided by its owner and embedded here with a link to the original source.
A wide sandy coastline
Foxton Beach sits at the mouth of the Manawatū River on the west coast of the North Island. The shoreline is open and sandy, backed by dunes and low coastal vegetation, with the Tasman Sea running along its length. The area is known for its surf, its relaxed small-town feel and the wide horizon that comes with a west-facing coast, where sunsets over the water are a regular feature.
What to watch and when
The camera is focused on the surf club area, so the most useful things to check are wave conditions, wind direction and cloud cover. Mornings often bring calmer water, while afternoons can build onshore wind. Changing light through the day makes the view look quite different at dawn, midday and dusk, and winter swells tend to be more energetic than summer ones. Exact conditions depend on the weather at the time.
Practical notes and nearby views
Foxton Beach is a short drive from Palmerston North and the wider Manawatū region. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cool, wet winters, so late spring to early autumn is generally the most comfortable time for a visit. If you want to compare coastlines, VizCams also lists cameras at Castlepoint, Wellington Airport and Wellington, each within roughly 100 km.
