Matiatia Bay, New Zealand (36.7833° S, 174.9833° E)
Located at approximately 36 degrees South and 174 degrees east lays Matiatia Bay. This bay is located to the west on the northern island (Waiheke Island) of New Zealand. New Zealand can be considered roughly the same size as Colorado, and has a very temperate climate, but with sharp regional contrasts. New Zealand is very mountainous, and has few coastal plains. At low tide, Matiatia Bay tide level has been as low as .63 meters and at high tide it has been as high as 2.57 meters. Its wave temperature approximately ranges from 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit and has won some renown as a sort of “lovers retreat”. The northern island sediment is mostly sand with some broken shell and fine silt. It also has a small component of gravel less than 80 cm beneath.
