New Zealand's most famous left-hand point break and one of the longest waves in the world. Manu Bay produces incredibly long, peeling waves that can wrap for over a kilometer when conditions align. Featured in 'Endless Summer,' it put New Zealand surfing on the global map. Best during winter swells with light offshore winds.
