Just look at the new fault scarp, about 2m high! Uploaded so this site can figure where the tide was at the time of this image. That way we will get some idea of how much uplift there is in the Waipapa and Clarence areas. First impressions for the Kaikoura breaks is that high water is now about where low water was at Kahutara and with that effect increasing as we go north to about Clarence and Kekerengu. Some breaks may have been destroyed but others may have improved and entirely new ones created.
