Mount Maunganui
Mount Maunganui Tide Poster
The iconic Mauao — Mount Maunganui — watches over one of New Zealand's most beloved beaches. The broad stretch of golden sand between the mount and the harbour entrance is shaped by gentle Pacific tides, creating the perfect balance of surf and swim that has made this beach a national treasure.

How to read it
A year of tides, turned into a grid.
Each row is a month — July at the top, June at the bottom. Each column is a day. The dots show when high and low tides happen, and how big they are.
Bigger dots mean more extreme tides. Spring tides cluster around full and new moons, neap tides sit quieter in between.
Once you learn to read one beach, you can read any beach. The patterns are always unique to the location.
