Muriwai Overview

Situated on the southern tip of Te Korowai o Te Tonga / Kaipara South Head, Muriwai presents as an open West Coast surf spot. Directly over the southern crest, Maukatia / Maori Bay unfolds, known for its unpredictable and robust waves, making it less ideal for beginners. Favorable winds blow from the northeast. Expect crowds during the summer months. For those looking to dive into surfing on the west side, [Muriwai Surf School](https://www.muriwaisurfschool.co.nz/) stands out as the original surf school, conveniently located beachside. They offer a wide selection of equipment and top-notch instructors. It's an easy choice!
