Indicators
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. The end is fast and can get shallow, so watch out. The Whale Bay Valley is also a good wave, with fewer people than the main point line-ups. Indicators 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 advanced to expert surfers only.
