Raglan Bar
Raglan Bar is a bar/beach break at the mouth of the Raglan Harbour. The wave offers both right and left handers, and can get hollow barrels, or fun fast waves when smaller. The wave is changable depending on sand movement and currents. Best on a lower, incoming tide. Good for intermediate to expert surfers.
