Abstract
A numerical model is used to examine the response of the Hauraki Gulf to the M 2 tide. Comparisons are made between observed data and model results. Over the inner Gulf the M 2 tide behaves as a standing wave while in the outer areas, up to 30% of the M 2 tide is attributable to progressive waves. Residual tidal currents are weak, generally being less than 1 cm/s.Keywords
