BLENHEIM
NEW ZEALAND
Blenheim is situated in the Marlborough region of New Zealand on the north east corner of the South Island, due west of Wellington city. For centuries it has offered safe harbour to travellers sailing to the spectacular South Island: first the Maori traders and war parties; then explorers like Captain James Cook and Dumont d’Urville; and now, to visitors seeking a retreat from city pressures, as they discover the unspoilt haven and foodie heaven that is Marlborough today. Blenheim's attractions include its wine industry, the Marlborough Sounds, gourmet foods and adventure activities. Travel to Blenheim New Zealand, book a tour, find a car rental or camper van in Blenheim New Zealand.

NEW 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
