Wave to visitor

Hidde Boers, of the Netherlands, enjoys yesterday's spectacular show at the Esplanade, at St Clair, Dunedin, yesterday afternoon, as high tide approached, peaking shortly before 6pm.

MetService meteorologist Nicole Ranger said the 2.4m-high spring tide had been influenced by this week's supermoon.

The high tide, combined with wind, had contributed to the big splashes, she said.
