Yeah it’s the sea state that might get scary . These types of close to shore generated swells can have a very short but intense peak height period of just few hours . The prediction for this one is 6-7 metres E-SE which would stand up beautifully/horribly in the Colville channel in an outgoing tide and probably a metre or two higher than forecast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Metservice says 40 kn in Colville for a few hours and that's it. yeah, from the most recent modelling , looks to be tracking a bit further east before dropping down.

You've quoted NZ532. I can only assume your screenshot above is also from NZ532? If you take a look at NZ5324, which has more detail for Sunday Rock. You'll see it has a 2.7m in exactly the same place as Navionics. To reiterate, the reason Navionics says 2.7m is because that's what the LINZ chart says. Screenshots of each below.

Def not for me but should prove an "interesting" experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The storm is definitely tracking further east and looking less scary as a result. Metservice seems reluctant to ease their official forecasts though, compared to what most of the models are showing.

But what are the details of the boat? shallow enough to tie up to the shore? Then maybe not so silly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty close to the worst conditions possible for back of the barrier I'd think. Huge easterly swell and quite a lot of forecast uncertainty. Certainly wouldn't find me back there.

harrytom 575 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/tonga-eruption-tsunami-waves-hit-shore-warning-also-issued-for-north-island-coastline-after-massive-blast/5ITWZZ3DJ2J6HPURW537PWGBLA/ The popular Tutukaka coast in Northland has been heavily impacted by surging seas caused by the eruption, with campers being evacuated and boats being damaged after losing their moorings at the local marina. "Tutukaka marina appears to have been really impacted by these tsunami surges - police have been evacuating all boaties and there have been reports of significant damage and boats getting dragged out off their moorings on the receding surges," tweeted Rebecca Hendl-Smith.

B00B00 290 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Some freaky stuff on the weiti river last night too. At least a 0.5m surge (properly measured on my tide level gauge) and some strong currents. At least 5 surge cycles. I sat on the end of the wharf until 3am watching it all. No damage anywhere here that i can see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 236 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Surge into Whitianga last night has moved some of the fairway bouys into the harbour and some out of the harbour. All channel bouys to the marina are gone. They are now up harbour amongst the moored boats. Probably wrapped around the moorings. What a mess. Big swell at the moment and tide very high considering that it is nearly low water. Will give the harbour master something to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
