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.

Marokopa Camping ground update

19 Jun 2018, 12:02 PM

In April 2018, Waitomo District Council (WDC) undertook an Expressions of Interest process with the intention to identify whether or not a suitably experienced service provider was interested in operating the Marokopa Camping Ground. That process is now complete but regrettably did not identify a suitable party.

The day-to-day operation of the Camping ground will be provided by WDC, on a business as usual basis. Bookings can be made through the WDC's Campground Manager, or the WDC Customer Services Team.
