More about Ruapuke surfspot
Ruapuke is a summer alternative to the crowds found at Raglans beaches, a powerful, swell magnet spot. Usually blown out of control, the north end cleans up nicely in a NE wind and small swell. The Toreparu Stream can shape some bars down the south end at higher tides. Vicious rips when it gets overhead.
Ruapuke is located just south of Raglan on the west coast of Waikato. From Hamilton head west on Whatawhata Road State Highway 23. Turn left onto Te Mata Road. Turn left to stay on Te Mata Road, then turn right onto Ruapuke Road. Continue right onto Whaanga Road. Turn left onto Swan Access Road and down to the beach.
Basic campground, but otherwise no facilities on this wild 8km stretch.
