Brace yourselves New Zealand, surfs up.

Vilakins please tell me you don't live on the beach.

Seriously, thinking of everyone back home right now.

Ahahaha, I don't, but I had to go down to the waterfront today for several hours. Good planning, huh? I heard an American asking about whether he should go to higher ground and asked what was going on. They were only predicting a meter-high swell at that stage, around 11:30, so I wasn't worried, but I didn't notice anything at all.

Apparently it got as high as 90cm! Oh noes! All the plastic beach furniture is lightly tangled in seaweed!

Superb timing you have! I choose to believe you were also good luck. The fact that you were there clearly stopped the situation from being any worse. Well done you!

I heard 40cms, but there have been some high tides recently anyway.

My luck must have changed! I have bought bulk tickets and discount vouchers and closed cinemas and restaurants within weeks. :-P
