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.
Awesome video! Super helpful thanks, and those waves..........sooooooooo gooooooddd! Some can only dream!
keep it up bro!
your videos are great ;)

I like to see around the corner, surfed it in 1981. Beautiful spot and area.

Well done mate.
Another awesome video that is super helpful. Thanks so much. Love the content and style.
Still awaiting that surf rat tee! Please post more videos if you can, I can dig em!
Awesome video surf rat. Your channel is funny and provides great insight for wannabe surfers like me. Great stuff
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 UA-cam and your video didn’t exist so learnt the hard way lol 😂
Cheers man!
Haha.. that's funny. I wondered myself if it's a good idea to paddle back. I have been in Raglan and saw lots of people paddling back.. however the swell might have been not so large this time.
shiiit thats a long way! Not all points have such strong current that you have to get out and walk, but there is usually some. You can also paddle really wide of the waves and get out of the way of the strongest flow. Thanks for the feedback!
Ha, I was waiting for you to say screw is making video stuff, I am going to go surf.
What a wave
There are year round point breaks in El Salvador and the others too
Wellcome to my country
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 :)
Wow takapuna reef is on!
ssshhh
dude..this was awesome...yeeww..
Thank you!
Maaate, just checking your channel for new content. Where ya been?

That a pretty choice break cuz
i wish you were more popular so i could find out where in NZ this is
Niceeeee!!!!!!!!!!
nice wax comb mic brother
Where did you go????
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.
Check out windguru, windfinder, windy, marineweather, metservice and surf2surf which has a cam.
just for you my man: ua-cam.com/video/DW_QtFDDfEY/v-deo.html

Good ol’ Venezuela point
ssshhh...
Somewhere in... Hahaha
keep it quiet bro!
@@TheSurfRat Dude i have no idea but it looks insane!
@@TheSurfRat anyone with 2 brain cells can find it, you even showed the coastline, i hope kooks like you dont ruin the spot in a few yrs im going there
point breaks means rare waves
Te Kohanga
really like your videos and find them helpful man but why do you look towards the beach when ur talking every 3 words .if you do it at the beginning and the end looks more dramatic hahahaha don't listen to me I wiped out on reef earlier lol
