West of Kaikoura 4.8 12.30am Seaward Kaikouras 4.4 12.39am East of Kaikoura 4.0 6.13pm 9 December. Upper Clarence 4.2 2.37am South Waita River 4.4 6.43am Big Pacific quakes have arrived with the beginning of a powerful quake period which will run right through the December supermoon. Luckily action hasn't yet come to New Zealand. There is a power of talk on Internet about supermoon quake predictions...we've got ours. Fluctuating solar quake driving conditions will be the dominating force next few days, the moon as always will be a secondary modulating force. Local quakes may stay relatively quiet today which is not a good sign for the following days. Forecast map updated Summary. 8 December.

Pacific quakes picked up early 9 December although New Zealand stayed ominously quiet...not a good sign. Strong solar quake driving conditions and very strong lunar modulation next few days will create a very high risk quake period. Be careful.
