This wave event is big, even for the west coast, with forecast swell over 5 metres and maximum wave height over 10 metres possible. The highest risk period is within 1-2 hours of high tide.

The next high tide for the coastline from Marokopa to Mōkau is around 2pm on Saturday. For Sunday, high tide is around 2.50pm.

Waitomo District Christmas Parade

15 Dec 2014, 11:43 AM

Rora Street Te Kuiti was the place to be on Friday night. The event was a great success with 38 float entries, food stalls and hundreds of spectators enjoying the Waitomo District Christmas Parade for 2014.

An amazing amount of effort was put into this years’ Christmas themed floats - which made for an exciting and festive parade.

Results of the float competition are:

  • Winner - Te Kuiti Kindergarten
  • Second place - Te Kuiti Playcentre
  • Third place - Maniapoto Family Violence Network

Waitomo District Council would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the Christmas Parade. The event was a great success and it could not have happened without the valuable support from our community.
