Coromandel Wave

Great flight last Saturday ... wave to Port Jackson (ie. top of the Coromandel Peninsula) and return and a bit South of Tauranga.  360km .
Wave was strong and clear - wished I had been a little more organised as would have been a 750km day!
wind 50kts from222deg.  at 10'000. 
Spectacular veiws all the way and was very straightforward.  10,000'-11,000' all the way with very cooperative and interested ATC staff.  A very pleasant day out .  Unfortunately no camera and the track is still in the GPS.
What happened to La Nina forecastes?
