SURF CONDITIONS & WHAT TO EXPECT?
Mount Maunganui's surf season runs from October to May, during this time, the waves are consistently within the 1-3 foot range.
Whats more, the prevailing winds during the surf season are offshore (this makes the waves clean and easy to ride), which is perfect for surfing lessons.
Plus, with Tauranga receiving more sunshine each year than anywhere else in NZ, and the water temperature during the summer months ranging between 19°C and 22°C (66 to 72°F) too, make this the most ideal location to learn to surf in NZ.
why learn to surf in mount maunganui?
Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, is one of the best places to learn to surf in New Zealand, if not the best.
And here's why...
Because of the big continental shelf off the East coast, the waves in the Mount are mellow, slow moving and perfect for surfing classes.
And, with the open beaches stretching from Mauao, all the way to Makatu, there are plenty of spots to surf with crowds never being a problem.
Soft rolling, gentle waves, perfect for a lesson in the surf for the very first time.
