Understanding Point Breaks

Point breaks are a joy to surf, but rare. Here we were lucky to be in the spot for a good swell that lit up this wee gem.

In the spirit of exploration and adventure, I won't be naming any spots on this channel. Thanks for understanding.

I like the fact that you encourage people to find their spot of paradise.
So long as it’s not this one.

Another awesome video Surf Rat!
First time at a point break (Raglan) on a sizable swell, got stuck in the rip and taken out into the bay... had to come back in through the beach break which was closing out solid... such a noob, unfortunately YouTube and your video didn’t exist so learnt the hard way lol 😂
Cheers man!

I'd argue that point breaks are not exactly rare. Pretty much every headland has a point break of some sort. The rare part is to find an uncrowded one here on the East Coast of Australia :)

Hey man I have a question about the raglan surf.
I’m a beginner surfer who live about 40 minutes from raglan and I’m aiming to get out for a surf at least once a week this year. After trying to surf manu bay, I quickly realised I should hone my skills before I return there again so I have been surfing ngaranui main beach.

Usually I check swell map to see if the surf will be clean however there’s been a few times where the site shows 8’s and 9’s our of 10. But in reality the surf was rough, dumpy and unsurfable.

What are some good websites I could use to check the surf forecast? How to I read the forecasts to know it will be clean, details to look out for?

Thanks very much man, love and appreciate all of your videos.
