Image captured 8 minutes after high water (at high spring tide). Tide height was 5.5m (18.1 ft). Range 5.87m (19.3 ft). Toggle tide graph
Patons Rock Surf Photo: 'Paddling out at Patons Rock' by Rob Davies
A SE gale had whipped up a 4 to 5m swell (measured at the Golden Bay wavebuoy) giving clean shoulder to head-high waves at Patons Rock. Spring tide is too high when this image was taken and it improved after 1pm once the tide had dropped a bit.
