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. On an epic day, you can surf right through from Indicators, to Whale Bay, to Manu Bay. All the Raglan breaks are very popular and can get crowded, so know the rules and respect the locals. Best for intermediate to expert surfers.
