Beach and Tide Conditions
Muriwai, New Zealand is a
Medium waves and Big waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Tidal size.
Super long, black, soft sand surf beach. Heaps of room on the mid to low tide, less on full tide, but sand dunes and forest behind. The beach is about 50km long and ends at a harbor entrance. The northern tip of Muriwai Beach is out of bounds due to being a Defence Bombing Range - trespassers are often prosecuted.
Recommended for intermediate to advanced riders, competent in most conditions.. The waves are generally pretty big and heavy. Waves break about 3-500m offshore and re-form on the inside which provides some good shallow flat water areas between the broken waves. Caution there are some very strong currents and rips at this beach, if you drop your kite in the surf, you need to be very competent at a quick relaunch or ditch your gear if it gets caught by a wave - a kitesurfer and numerous fisherman have drowned here. Not recommended for beginners. Don't kite between the Surf Lifeguard Flags!!
