Civil engineer Danel Korb took the day off work to make the most of what the Antarctic blast left behind – but that was after she went for a surf and a skate. “They said ‘that’s the Taranaki Dream’.” Korb was up before dawn and paddling out at Graveyards, off Paora Rd in Wārea, in the icy darkness. She was so committed to the swell she went with “literally nobody” there, and didn’t realise how far out she was until it got lighter. “It was a bit tiring, but I got back – and there was still some frost on the grass,” she said. “It was a successful surf.”

Hopefully, the maunga’s perfect volcanic peak will be cloud-free as you negotiate Taranaki’s Surf Highway, taking time to detour down side roads to the skeletal remains of the SS Gairloch shipwreck just south of Ōakura, or the Cape Egmont Lighthouse at Pungarehu on Taranaki’s western-most point. Look forward to brisk westerlies and a winter Tasman swell rolling in all the way from Australia.
Don’t miss Two of regional New Zealand’s best galleries and museums, the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre in New Plymouth, and the Tawhiti Museum in Hāwera.
