Gisborne Tides
As the first city in the world to see the sunrise, Gisborne sits at the confluence of three rivers and the Pacific Ocean. Its tides are a complex dance between river flow and ocean swell, creating unique patterns that shift with the seasons — a fitting rhythm for the birthplace of New Zealand's surf culture.
