Mahunga Point is a surf spot located at the northern end of a beach that showcases a left-hand point break. This area generally has a laid-back vibe and is known for its fairly consistent surf, making it a reasonable choice for surfers looking to improve their skills. Accessing the spot involves a bit of a trek through the surrounding area, but it’s all part of the adventure. The beautiful natural setting adds to the overall experience.

The surf here works best with a north-east swell and can handle sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). You can expect the waves to break over boulders, creating a reef-type break that usually favors left-handed rides. It’s best to hit the waves during mid to high tide, especially with a west wind. This spot is particularly suitable for beginners who are looking to catch some longer rides and improve their technique, especially when the conditions align well.

Though Mahunga Point can attract some surfers, the broken-up nature of the reef helps to spread out the crowd. With a mix of north-east and sometimes south-east swells, you’ll find that the spot has its good days, making it worth checking out if you’re in the area. Just keep an eye on the tides and wind, and you might just find the perfect wave on your visit!
