Storm Swell Warning: Seven-Metre Waves Set to Pound Banks Peninsula Coast

A powerful low-pressure system deepening off the eastern South Island is forecast to batter the Banks Peninsula coastline with ocean swells of up to seven metres, sparking marine and coastal hazard concerns for the region. MetService and regional weather analysts have highlighted a significant swell event as strong south-westerly winds and an intense ocean swell combine over the next 24 hours, driving towering waves towards exposed coastal areas around Akaroa, Pigeon Bay and the wider Canterbury Bight. 

Boaties, fishers and coastal visitors are being urged to exercise extreme caution, with rough seas likely to disrupt small craft activities and create dangerous shore-breaks. The weather system is also expected to bring sustained wind gusts and heavy rain to eastern Canterbury, heightening coastal hazards. 

While such swells are not unusual during intense marine lows in the region, forecasters say the combination of wave height and southerly gales may lead to localised beach erosion and strong currents. Stay updated with official marine warnings and avoid venturing into the surf as conditions deteriorate.

Oamaru Botanical Gardens a few years ago. I would love to suggest to “anyone” the red bridge desperately needs a paint and the grass by the stream mowed and the water the poor birds are swimming in and drinking - needs cleaned up too. Sorry for the moan but I’m passionate about

After two missed years because of the weather, the clouds turned black and the hail plumetted down just half an hour before the parade was to begin. But thats how Oamaru rolls and as planned, at 12pm, the festival began in the sunshine. What a great, colourful day it was for the Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations 2025
