How this is modelled
Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
- SE through S, SSW and SW all work at Shakespear Bay and Te Haruhi Bay, with SW the direction that comes up most.
- The wider Whangaparaoa Peninsula has bays open to almost every direction.
What the spot record warns about
- boat traffic in bays
- shellfish/rocks possible on some bays
- rocks near shore and in the water
- bystanders and other beach users, especially December and January
- boat traffic in Auckland waters
- tide-sensitive bays
