Waikato Coast Surf Spots

Raglan's easiest and most consistent beachbreak — all-ability A-frame peaks with surf school-friendly conditions.

World-class left point over boulders with a barreling ledge section that walls for 300m+. The most crowded of Raglan's three points.

Raglan's middle left point: fast, hollow walls over boulders, slightly less crowded than its famous neighbours.

New Zealand's longest left-hand point — a world-class barrel running 200-500m over boulders with heavy crowd pressure.

Isolated harbour-mouth sandbar across from Raglan — variable peaks from slopey shoulders to fast tubes. Usually empty.

Changeable sandbanks at Raglan Harbour's southern side delivering fast, hollow peaks on SW-NW swells.

Powerful swell-magnet beachbreak south of Raglan — wild 8km stretch with vicious rips and summer escape potential.

Extremely remote and fiercely guarded left point that requires farmer permission, huge swell, and serious local knowledge.

Isolated high-tide beachbreak with scattered rocks north of Raglan — powerful peaks for small-swell days via gravel road.

Wild rivermouth beachbreak north of Raglan — only worth the drive when light swell and clean winds align at high tide.

Throaty left point at the end of Sunset Beach — powerful walls and hollow sections where sand meets rocky fingers.

Sectiony left point at the Marokopa River mouth with powerful walls at higher tides. Rarely crowded.
