Prevailing wind is westerly. West coast beaches typically are windier and the surf is gnarlier. If you like waves then raglan/new plymouth.WouterHolland wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 9:39 pmHi all,
Thanks for the info provided thus far to Erwin’s questions. Very helpful.
Just like him I’m going to New Zealand, but in my case to live there for 2 years with my family. My wife (a GP) will be working, and I’ll have the luxery to spent my time kiting and taking care of the kids when they’re not at school. Key question is: where to live to? Obviously, it all depends on available vacancies, but we would need some guidelines in terms of location for the agancy that helps us finding the right practice. In any case, we’relooking into cities with a hospital and around 50k population size (to assure my wife will also have a pleasant time!).
So far, I think the following places are interesting candidates:
- Tauranga (area) (enough wind?)
- Nelson
- New Plymouth
- Napier (enough wind?)
- Raglan
(Auckland area will not work: foreign GPs are not comminly placed there.)
Do you guys have any further info that could be of help in making our decicion where to aim for?
Much appreciated!
Cheers,
Wouter
