The best time to go to Muriwai is generally during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities and enjoying the beach.For those planning to visit the gannet colony, the nesting season typically runs from August to March. During these months, you'll have the best chance to see the gannets with their chicks. The colony is a spectacular sight, located on the clifftops at the end of Muriwai Beach Road, offering impressive views of the Tasman Sea.Surfers will find good conditions throughout the summer, but the beach can also offer consistent waves during the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). The Muriwai Surf School operates near the main surf club, making it easy to rent equipment or take lessons.If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, consider visiting in the shoulder seasons. The weather is still pleasant, and you can enjoy the walking tracks, like the clifftop walkway, in more solitude.
