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.

Walkway Closure behind Te Kūiti Aquatic Centre

4 Jul 2023, 2:47 PM

The walkway behind the Te Kūiti Aquatic Centre to the Mangarino Road Bridge will be closed until further notice. The closure is necessary due to ongoing construction works on private property where the existing path is located, which means for health and safety reasons the walkway must be closed.
Once the construction is completed, Waitomo District Council will promptly create an alternative path to reconnect the walkway.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding
