SURF REPORT
Surf
Life Saving Northern Region (SLSNR) is the organisation responsible
for controlling the surf lifesaving activities around the
Auckland region of New Zealand. It is responsible for surf
beaches from Far North Rescue to Raglan Surf Lfe Saving Club.
It is a district organization of Surf Life Saving New Zealand.
Founded in 1933, it currently has 17 affiliated clubs with
more than 3000 volunteers. It currently employs 10 full-time
staff and around 70 seasonal professional lifeguards. During
the New Zealand Life Saving Season Labour Day to April, Surf
Life Saving Northern, through its support service, SurfCom,
keeps in contact with the 17 surf clubs under its responsibility
through radios or by telephone. The primary responsibility
of SurfCom is to relay information between the surf life saving
clubs and other rescue services.Also, every patrol fills in
a form detailing local conditions and the type of patrol set
up. This is relayed to SLSNR in order to allocate funding
to individual clubs.. At the end of the patrol a follow-up
report is sent off detailing the number of guards patrolling,
the number of rescue vehicles used, and the number of rescues,
first aids, searches and preventative actions. Other support
services include lifeguards stationed on the Westpac Rescue
Helicopter (New Zealand), and on jetskis.

ZEALAND SURF REPORTS
Apart
from tsunamis, the only thing that produces
waves is the wind blowing over the sea surface.
Waves arriving on a coast called windsea can
be generated by local wind. Groundswell can
be the result of a wind that blew over the surface
of the ocean thousands of kilometres away
