Ranganunu Harbour

A remote Far North sandbar break on the Rangaunu Harbour / East Beach side of Northland, known as much for its empty lineup and long approach as for the surf itself. When northeast energy and clean offshore wind line up, the bar can turn into a proper session that still feels well off the beaten track.

Lineup Insights

The Wave

The cleaner window is south offshore, with northeast swell and a mid-to-high rising tide; rips and undertow are the main hazards, and the bar can hold size once it is working.

Expect a swampy road and a long 3 km walk, so factor the approach in before carrying boards.
