It is looking much better this morning with a light southwest wind forecast to swing more to the south as the day goes on. High tide is this morning at 10.45 this morning. Just waiting for the tide to fill in a little more and we will be out there.
Friday already, dont the weeks just fly by. High tide is this morning at 9.35 am. Light winds now but fresher southwest winds this afternoon. Windy tomorrow, but looking better with lighter winds on Sunday. We wont be around on Saturday, but on Sunday we are in full swing at The Shed . The high tide is […]
Off work that is and another day to go paddling. A very light northerly first thing that will probably freshen as the day goes on as they say. The tide is dropping heading to the only low tide today at 11.35am. High is late this afternoon at 6.20pm. Early evening really, all good though just […]
Another great day for the long weekend. High tide this afternoon at 5.00pm. A freshening southwesterly this morning that is forecast to ease and become light this afternoon. Keep those fingers crossed, it was great day yesterday . We enjoyed a rather pleasant paddle down to Lorenzen Bay with Tony, Sue and Zowie. We are […]
Beautiful day in raglan this morning, we are just starting to see the forecast south to southwest breeze developing. High tide this afternoon just before 4.00pm.
Sunny and windy pretty much describes the last couple of days. It is spring and that is what we expect isn’t it ? Great it isn’t raining though, was getting very sick of that weather. So a long weekend coming up and the forecast is the standard longer range forecast from the met office saying […]
It is a good morning as well. What a change to yesterday. High tide is at 8.25 this morning. High again at 9.00 this evening. Nice a calm first thing with a glassey harbour stretching out in front of The Shed. But we are expecting the southwest wind to freshen this morning . So if you […]
Wow you just wouldn’t believe how many times we had to cancel the paddle board lesson for the students at St Peters. Amazingly we all got together this morning at Kopua Domain . It was a grey morning turning in to a rainy start as I was setting the gear out at 7.30. Just a light breeze […]
Its another wild day today, not good for addling that is for sure. High tide this afternoon is at 1.40pm. Again a down wind is on the cards this afternoon. For the expienced only I must add.
The wind really has kicked in this afternoon with a solid 15-20 knots of southwest wind. Just waiting for the tide to drop a bit more and then its down wind time.
Morning, unfortunately it is too windy today to go paddling. The sun is out but for how long with the squalls queuing up to come in off the Tasman Sea. Stronger winds this afternoon, with the possibility of a down wind paddle for more advanced paddlers. High tide is 1.20 this afternoon.
The wind filled in earlier than expected and had touch too much west in it for The Sheds backyard, so headed to Kopua Domain. High tide and a shining sun, kicked the start of the season off nicely. Below are a couple of pics of todays lesson, enjoying their school holidays. Lucky for me I had my […]
Cant believe it after the start to the morning, the sun is trying desperately to come out. The tide is high this morning 11.45 am. No wind at the moment so get out there as soon as you can. Freshening northwest winds this afternoon.
Yes its another grey day with high tide this morning at 11.10am. The forecast is for showers today. So as you can see not a lot of change from yesterday. Below is the beach with a little wave. Again today it is looking like freshening northeast wind stronger in the afternoon.

I thought my older age and low fitness level, might struggle to last ten minutes but quite the contrary. With your supportand guidence the time was over before I noticed. Thank you.”
