Kauauroa Bay

The shape of this bay causes it to collect a considerable amount of sea.

In SW to N conditions, the sea that builds up in Tawhitinui Reach, is pushed into this bay making it an uncomfortable anchorage.

These winds tend to be deflected by the land and blow into the bay as an SW wind. The bay is also exposed to S sector winds.
