Live cameras and wave buoys
Our Bar cameras are only one of the aids available to skippers to help them make the decision on whether it’s safe to cross a bar.
Check out some other useful information:
- Prep: Watch our videos on How to Cross the Kaituna Bar Safely and what preparation you need to do prior to launching.
- Check: Marine Weather Forecast for our region. Also check out our Wave buoys page for swell information.
- Know: Contact your local Coastguard Radio Room at Maketū to find out the status of the bar 027 539 2930 and book onto a Bar Crossing course.
The Kaituna Bar Cam runs off of solar power and can experience intermittent down time.
