erosion of the weaker matrix leaves the harder cobbles and boulders to form large
platform reefs. These reefs are typically low in relief but can be considerable in extent
e.g. reefs off the Waitara coastline extend as far as 5 km offshore (TRC, 1991).
Taranaki reefs are exposed to high energy wave and wind conditions. Prevailing south
westerly winds from the Tasman Sea, not weakened by land barriers or local
irregularities of the coastline, can be persistent. The dominant wave direction is
