About

The most popular part of Raglan, offering a great 'performance' wave. As this is such a well known wave, you'll get crowds of sufers from the four corners of the globe here.

Atmosphere:
This is where they hold all of the competitions. In the weekend the carpark looks like a camping ground.

Additional Info:
The wave can be picked up in several places, but generaly you go up to the point and in off the rocks - fun when its big - timing is everything. The wave is a long regular left, which wraps around the point over rocks (small boulders), generaly it is more hollow at low tide. The wave is the final part of the Raglan Experience, with it very rarely connecting across from Whale Bay. Between the two is a headland and a very hard 'reef' section called 'the ledge' - The main take off zone is on the obvious point and you can surf forever on big days.
