Mngazi surf guide

Mngazi is a beachbreak surf spot located on the coast. It's not known for huge swells or perfect waves, but it can be fun on the right day. The overall vibe is pretty laid-back, and it’s a spot you might visit if you're looking for a chill surf session. It doesn’t have a high consistency in terms of quality and crowds can be hit or miss.

When it comes to surfing at Mngazi, it works best with small swells around 1ft (0.3m). The optimal swell direction is from the east, and it can catch swells from the northeast and southwest. The waves break over sandy bottom and can offer both left and right rides. The place handles low, mid, and high tides fairly well, and it’s generally good for beginners looking to practice their skills. On days with northeast winds, the conditions can be a bit cleaner, especially near the rivermouth, which might shape up some decent banks.

Despite its low consistency, Mngazi can occasionally surprise you with rideable peaks when the swell is just right. It’s not a spot for expert surfers looking for challenging waves, but if you're a beginner or just want to catch some small, fun waves, it may be worth checking out.
