Strong winds and noticeable swells in Hawke's Bay on Friday are set to drop away for what is set to be a decent weekend.
MetService meteorologist Tui McInnes said almost all parts of the region would have felt the gusts on Friday.
The biggest gust of wind in Hawke's Bay on Friday was recorded at Cape Kidnappers.
"Winds of 70km/h were recorded there at 2pm, but that is an elevated area," he said.
"For context, Napier Airport recorded a gust of 58km/h earlier, while Wairoa recorded winds of 59km/h."
