A spokesperson for Surf Life Saving NZ told 1 NEWS up to three sharks swam “past the beach” and swimmers were ordered out of the water.
A lifeguard in the watchtower says it happened around 1:30pm and the beach is still closed.
The sharks were "not large" and swimmers should be back in the water soon barring another sighting.
The SLNZ spokesperson says sightings in the area are common and the beach being shut due to this is not uncommon.
However, tensions are heightened after a Waihi shark attack left a young woman dead on Thursday.
