Indicators is the third of the well-known Raglan point breaks. It is a long left-hand point break on a boulder/rock beach. The wave is the longest and fastest out of the three Raglan points. The wave has two main parts, Outers and Insides. Outers is further out at the point (west end) and starts with a gnarly drop-in, into a fast barrel section. On big enough days, you can surf through to Insides, or on smaller days the wave will be too fast for you to make it through. Insides has a nice drop-in, with various sections, from wally, cutback sections, to several fast, barrel sections.
Whale Bay is the second of the well-known Raglan point breaks. It is a long left-hand point break on a boulder/rock beach. The wave is the softest of the three Raglan points. The wave starts with a easy drop in, into a fat section. Careful at this point, as there is a big rock to avoid in the middle of the break. The wave then boils and sucks up a bit more with a faster section. It is better on the lower tide. Jump off the rocks at the point, western end of the bay, to join the line-up. Be careful on the rocks. Good anywhere from 2-12 foot.
Waikato is home to a must visit surf destination, Raglan! Raglan's Manu Bay, Whale Bay and Indicators are 3 of the most famous and high performance left handers in the country.
Raglan is a small town on the west coast of the Waikato, with a small town kinda vibe, great to chill and enjoy pumping surf. Waikato is a large region on the west coast of the North Island, located between Auckland and Taranaki and boasts the Waikato River, which is the longest in New Zealand. Hamilton is the main city and a good place to base yourself for traveling around the region.
Manu Bay is the first, and most popular, of the well-known Raglan point breaks. It is a long left-hand point break on a boulder beach. The wave reels across the whole bay, round past the boat ramp. The wave starts with a hollow drop in, into a barrel section, then works into a long wally section. It is hollower and faster on the lower tide. Jump off the rocks at the point, western end of the bay, to join the line-up. Be careful on the rocks. Good anywhere from 2-10 foot. There is also an outside section, further west round the point, called Boneyards.
