Fogg 427 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 So who ordered the big tide tonight (3.6m at 8pm or something)? Might pop down to Westhaven drive and watch the overtopping. Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Add in the low pressure of the weather and it could be extra exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 does anyone else remember the +4m tide in Akl last year? The highest tide recorded in Akl. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Really. So exactly what was the height of the highest tide. I'm popping down to Westhaven drive around 8pm to see how it looks, what with the big tide, low pressure and northerly wind blowing it onto the low wall... Link to post Share on other sites

Megwyn 2 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 windy as all heck here - the house is vibrating in the gusts. No idea what it is like down at the mooring - but with some shelter from the northerly, I am hoping our lady is all good. Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 High Tide in Akl (Capt Cook Wharf) 20:07 tonight Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just back from Westhaven and Tamaki Drive. No huge dramas as the wind has really eased this eve and there was no surf crashing over the low walls. Couldn't believe the cops closed Tamaki Drive for about 6 inches of water and then promptly drove through it themselves. Was so tempted to follow them in the 4x4... Link to post Share on other sites
