WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR TONIGHT!!!

Updates

SET UP- We’ve been informed that all the new work the council has been doing is now complete—and finished ahead of schedule! That means we’ll have a brand-new finishing area tonight.

WIND - The wind will be the calmest it’s been in years, with sustained speeds of 10 km/h and gusts up to 20 km/h. It’ll be a northerly, but conditions should still be really nice—just a little bit lumpy.

TIDE - It’s going to be a super low tide tonight! Swimmers, make sure to get your running shoes ready. Runners, you’ll have the full stretch of hard sand to enjoy—make the most of it!

WATER - The water quality is looking fantastic! I heard it was super clear last week—let’s hope that continues. Temperatures are warming up, and we’re hoping to see them reach 19 degrees this week.

WEATHER - The weather is calm, infact the Calmest but it will be northerly so no cover from the wind we will have.

CHANGES - Should be back to the old Finishline, so lots of room on the grass.

SUP COURSE- We are thinking a Cheverton for tonight, but will assess once we arrive.

PRIZEGIVING- lets get you guys all there, we will look to start Prizegiving at 7.20pm

WIND - Get ready for some of the best conditions we've seen so far this season! With 19km winds and gusts up to 25km, all coming from the West or Southwest, we may barely feel them thanks to the natural cover at Taka.

TIDE - It’s low tide tonight, so even the swimmers might want to have their running shoes handy! For our actual runners, there will be plenty of firm, hard sand to run on, making it a potentially fast race tonight!

WATER - The water quality is looking fantastic, and temperatures are warmer than last week—some are even reporting it's around 17 degrees. Perfect for a refreshing dip!

WEATHER - The weather is calm, with a high of 17 degrees. It’s still a bit brisk when the sun sets, so be prepared!

CHANGES - Attention swimmers: the course is getting a shake-up tonight, so keep an eye out for the new layout!

Bring on the fun and fitness!! Race 3 of the Harcourts Cooper & Co Takapuna Beach Series.

WIND - Looking stronger than last week, than last week with a North Westerly, so should have good wind cover again with sustained speeds of 30km.

TIDE - A high tide tonight giving you swimmers a shorter run than last week. For the Runners, we will see if there is enough room to squeeze past, but it may be shorter depending on the height of the tide.

WATER - The quality is looking good and the water temp seems to be warmer than last week, some saying its hitting 18 ish degrees.

WEATHER - The weather is calm ish but rain may be building for a down poor at 8pm so we may miss prize giving this week, if we do, we will double down next week on the prizes.

New this week - North Shore Physiotherapy. They’re your local sports physiotherapists in Takapuna. Chris will be here before and after the event to provide expertise and advice on any injuries you might have. Also, if you need physio treatment for a niggling injury they’re offering 20% off an initial assessment in November. Don’t let an injury slow down your summer. Come grab a business card to redeem this offer. Chris has been a participant for the last 2 years and loves the community it builds in Takapuna. You’ll see him in the water with you from time to time. Come and say Hi before or after you drop your bags off!” He will be next to the SwimT3 Tent on the Grass.

We will have a volunteer tonight at the finish line moving you towards Rego if this happens to you tonight. So we can get on to it quickly, this will help us track down the issue. The timing clock will be on the ground, in front of the gantry, so we can have this facing the live stream so we can see your time once you finish the line.

CHANGES - Swimmers we will look to change the swim course a little, so we can make sure it's a fair race to the finish, - See the Briefing email that went out this morning.

Harcourts Cooper & Co TAKAPUNA BEACH SEIRES IS ON!

Today is the day we get to see your smiling faces again, and we couldn't be more excited! 🎉 We're thrilled to be starting the season and have so much planned for you. Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up:

WIND - Winds are calming down a bit, but we're still expecting sustained speeds of 30km with gusts up to 40km. For all you SUP enthusiasts, we'll be sticking close to shore with a Chevron Course.

TIDE - We're in for a treat with a full 3m high tide at 6pm! However, keep in mind that we might have a slightly shorter run course if we can't navigate past the water obstacles.

WATER - The quality is looking good and the water temp will be around 16 degrees, so a bit nippy, if you have any extra thermal swim accessories you may want to use them.

WEATHER - The weather is looking cool at 14 degrees, so make sure to bring some warm clothes. A top tip for our wetsuit swimmers: pack a warm thermos to pour down your wetsuit when you get out—trust me, it makes all the difference! For everyone else, don't forget your jackets, especially if you're joining us for dinner during the prize-giving ceremony.
