Raglan - Indicators
Edit SpotAbout
The wave breaks in two sections, an outside hollow fast section and an inside section that walls up superbly.
When its good there is always some crowd there. On weekdays at certain times it may be uncrowded.
Additional Info:
Perhaps the best section of Raglan - long regular walls power down the line when the swell is up. Chose carefully your entry point, and be prepared to paddle to stay in the line-up. Worth evey last drop of effort.
