Massive Mountain Waves
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: This is the scale of the mountain waves this year in Paekakariki, they're massive.  Some literally dive bomb directly into us as well, and we had for the first time ever, a wave of rain, rather than normal fall. Scary stuff.

So is that a view north with westerly winds?  Moisture laden air off the sea...?  Dry skies to the east...  Nice pic btw!

It's a huge mountain wave coming from the East mountains, heading the the coast. They bring wind and cold with them as they drag the mountain top air down into us. Attrocious in Winter-Spring. When there is an upper trough opposite Canterbury, they actually dive bomb straight into us.
