Mount Maunganui

Mount Maunganui is an NNE-facing beach break in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. It picks up swell from NNW to E, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 54% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSW: light winds or SSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNE onshores chop it up.
