With the Seaward Kaikōura Range rising straight from the ocean, Mangamaunu is one of the world's most scenic point breaks. The deep water close to shore means the tide has a unique signature here — less dramatic in range but exquisitely sensitive to the swell direction, creating world-class waves that peel down the rocky coastline.
