more info would be great


what size boat , what bay are you hiring the mooring in .


Suggest to go over in the morning when an easterly is in and come home on a seabreeze . All the public moorings are on the north side of the island so you should be protected fine on a sw'er . Easterlies well thats a different story and the moorings can become quite rough dependant on what bay you are in .

Generally mornings are the best for going to rotto and back.

But that depends on the wind.

Play it by ear and don't leave after midday on monday coz it'll just get windier.

like i said before go over on an eaterly (usually morning) and come home on a seabreeze . much easier to follow the swell than fight it .
