Waiiti Bay Location

-35.0074, 173.9360

-35.00736, 173.93600 View on OpenStreetMap →

Waiiti Bay sits at -35.0074°N, 173.9360°E, on the coast of Northland, New Zealand. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
