Definately water there at all tides but not that easy to hold onto boats etc and a sou wester blowing straight in can be nasty.
Good handy ramp tho and not much point driving anywhere else, The 3 other ramps within about 2 min by boat will take at least 30 min to drive to by car.

Glenbrook ramp used to have a bad name for low tide launching and loading. Ideal for small boats but when they sneak up in size at low water it can be a problem. Waiau Pa and Te Toro are really good ramps and you can work them all tides, they have at least two lanes and pontoons for lying alongside. The Waiau Pa membership fee is peanuts and the money goes to maintaining a really good facility. How big a boat do you have? It is a long drive to Waiau Pa from Glenbrook, but if you can fish with the tides for launching you will get a lot of fun on the Manukau. |
