The tsunami warning has been cancelled for New Zealand. A marine threat warning is still in place.

Around a 20cm surge is now predicted.
Some currents and unusual tidal action may still occur in coastal areas for the next 48 hours.
People are still strongly advised to stay away from the coast as a precautionary measure.
The Regional Council is keeping recreational boat ramps in Napier's Inner Harbour closed until further notice.
The Harbourmaster is monitoring the situation for commercial shipping at the Port of Napier and at sea.
The Regional Emergency Operations Centre will remain on watch.
