Whatarangi Point Whats it like. Pointbreak lefthander, better at lowish tide. Porttack wavesailing. The wave sometimes runs a long way through to the Bombora further out. Wave can be 200 meters long in good conditions. Who does it suit. In moderate days very suitable for beginner to intermediate wavesailors. What are the best conditions. Wind needs to be S to SE, anything SW will make this cross onshore and not much fun. Can also be sailed in a northerly, but there needs to be a good southswell coming in, else it will be blown flat.  Waveface is quite smooth in southerlies, but choppy in northerlies How do I get there. From Martinborough, turn south, and keep going towards Lake ferry. A short while after Pirinoa, turn left towards Cape Palliser, you will finally get to Whatarangi village. Spot is on your right, you will not miss it. There is a little 4 WD track 50 meters long. That is where you park and launch. What should I look out for. A couple of rocks below water at launching point, but not too hardcore.
