Cool weather – big waves
• By Aaron Lock, surf coach,
Sumner
The weather has definitely
changed a lot in the last four
weeks, with rain, wind and snow,
along with some frosty clear days
as well. The cooler weather has
also brought some epic waves.
The biggest swell since Cyclone
Pam rolled through mid-May and
produced over a week of great
surf. All the local beaches were
firing at various times throughout
the week. Since then, there has
been some great south swells up
the coast and a few fun days on
the city beaches, too. The water
is chilling down to about 11 deg
C, but it hasn’t stopped people
getting out there with some days
in the water as busy as summer.
The Whale Watch Kaikoura
Coldwater Surf Classic scored
perfect conditions over Queen’s
Birthday weekend. Three days
straight of clear frosty weather
and perfect 1.2m to 1.8m surf at
the meatworks break.
Local surfers
performed well
against a field of
New Zealand’s
best. The competition
attracted more
than 120 entries
from throughout
the country.
Rodney Somogyvari (Sumner)
impressed the judges with his
smooth but radical turns to place
fourth in the classic open.
Harrison Whiteside (Redcliffs)
blitzed the field in the junior final
to win, and then placed second
the Kaikoura junior final. Alan
Temoananui (Redcliffs) was
in good form, his style suiting
the powerful waves to win the
seniors, second in the long-board
and third in the masters.
Lucy Temoananui (Redcliffs)
was third in the senior women’s
and fourth in the open women’s.
Neill Robb was fourth in the
masters.

Aaron's surf report
final competition of the South
Island surfing circuit for the year.
Local board-riders’ club, the
Point Surf team finished third
overall. Harrison Whiteside won
the junior circuit. Ben Rees was
second in the seniors. Neill Robb
was second in the grand masters.
Lucy Temoananui was third on
the open women’s circuit. Mike
Willman was third on the longboarding
circuit.
So, as we head into the worst of
winter, frosty wetsuits, ice cream
headaches and numb toes, at least
the good waves should keep on
pumping through to make it all
worth while.
