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.

Snail Mail Day at the Library

9 Jun 2014, 9:53 AM

Residents are invited to come along to the Waitomo District Library on Friday 13 June from 10am and take part in Snail Mail Day. The initiative aims to help people experience the joy of corresponding with family and friends in the traditional and more personal way, via letter.

The Library is supporting Snail Mail Day by inviting residents of all ages to come along and use the Library resources to create their own letters. Paper, pens/ felt pens and pre-paid envelopes will be available to use, and a letterbox so that people can ‘post’ their letter. Library staff will deliver the mail to the Post Office at the end of the day.

For more information contact Julie at the Library on (07) 878 1028 or email [email protected]
