www.raglanweather.co.nz/

not a forceast as such but the view of the mountain can give you an indication of what its like, say if there is a cloud on the lee side for example its usually a sea breeze and marginal at best
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

No specific site for Raglan conditions sorry mate... But you can check what Manakau & Taranaki are doing (gives you a good general idea of whats happening on the west coast) ;

www.weather-display.com/windy/gb/grahamsbeach.htm

www.porttaranaki.co.nz/port/weather.htm


The nearest wind readings available are taken from Port Taharoa, (30kms away and not as seabreezey as Rags) updated every 3 hrs on www.metservice.com - go to marine forcasts / maps & observations / nz observations

For fairly reliable 7-day forcasts you could try; www.swellmap.com/forecasts.php

Finally, you can get a good idea of the state of the sea on the web cams;

www.surf2surf.com/reports/index.php?loc=RA

www.surf.co.nz/reports/Raglan.asp

Take it easy out there. Respect Raglans rip-tide or it'll rip & tie you
