The weather channel reports from the Hauraki gulf used to be published somewhere, but that went way back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 613 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Over the years I have downgraded the importance of nowcasting reports below Metvuw, the Windy models or Predictwind briefings in the gulf. On the VHF the cheesy advertising is irritating and you have to adjust each location for the wind at sea level- Bean overreads, Tiri even more, Channel is always windy, the Mokes always so mild, often a station is down etc... You generally get a pretty good idea from the forecasts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
