Why Learn to Surf in Mount Maunganui?
Mount Maunganui is one of the best places to learn to surf in New Zealand, if not the best.
And here's why...
Because of the big continental shelf of the East coast, the waves in the Mount are mellow, slow moving and perfect for learning to surf.
With the open beaches stretching from the Mauao, all the way to Makatu, there are plenty of spots to surf with crowds never being a problem.
The most popular spots to surf are:
- Main beach
- Tay Street
- Hart Street (which is where we're located)
- The Pony Club
Surf conditions in Mount Maunganui
The surf season is between October to May. During this time, the waves are consistently within the 1-3 foot range. Whats more, the prevailing winds during the surf season are offshore (this makes the waves clean and easy to ride), which is perfect for surf lessons.
Plus, with the Mount receiving more sunshine each year than anywhere else in NZ, and the water temperature during this time ranges between 99 and 99 too!
Safe and secure
Not only are the beaches perfect for learning to surf, but they're also regularly patrolled by lifeguards too.
And unlike many other beaches, here in the Mount you never have to worry about flash rips as the beaches are very flat, and virtually rip free.
What's different about our surf lessons?
The House of Surf mission is to push womens surfing and get as many women into the water to experience the invigorating feeling of learning to surf.
We are the only all womens surf school based in Mount Maunganui providing surf lessons and a strong womens surf network so we can all encourage one another to spend more time out in the water doing what we love.
The beauty of our surf lessons in Mount Maunganui is that we are mobile surf school.
So if the waves are firing somewhere else, we can pack the car and head to the best break.
This enables our surf lessons to be held at the best location for day. Maximising our students results and enjoyment.
And, let's be honest...
Surfing is a lot less intimidating when your getting taught by women.
