Manu Bay

Manu Bay is a WNW-facing point break in Raglan, Waikato, New Zealand. It picks up swell from SSW to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 49% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ESE: light winds or ESE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WNW onshores chop it up.
