Mikotai Surf Guide
Mikotai in Taranaki is a fairly exposed beach and reef break that does not work very often. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. Offshore winds blow from the east with some shelter here from southeast winds. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell direction is from the west southwest. There is no beach break together with both left and right hand reef breaks offshore. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Watch out for urchins, rips, rocks and sharks.
