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.
Weather permitting, Waitomo District Council will be carrying out weed spraying using glyphosate in the form of Roundup.
Operational areas to be treated may include parks, reserves, and cemeteries located in both the urban and rural environments of the Waitomo District. All work will be carried out by qualified applicators.
