Weather Watch - High wave warning along coastline

A high wave warning is in place for our coastline this weekend. A strong westerly swell is expected from Saturday 24 January through to Sunday 25 January, with a swell event (high energy waves) and elevated water levels predicted.

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.

Be a responsible dog owner

31 Oct 2017

Dogs need care and attention during Guy Fawkes. Simple measures will help avoid the cost and distress caused by a missing or injured dog.

  • Ensure your dog is microchipped and wearing its current registration tag.
  • Never let fireworks off close to a dog. 
  • Keep your dog indoors or in a secure place. 
  • Close doors, windows and draw the curtains. 
  • Have the radio or TV playing as background noise.

If your dog goes missing, it may be in the Pound, so please contact us.

If Animal Control impounds your dog, all costs will need to be paid in full, before your dog is released.
