Water quality website Safeswim has red-flagged 30 Waitemata Harbour beaches, meaning swimming is not advised, and black-flagged a further four inner harbour beaches warning not to swim there at all.
From Orewa to Takapuna Beach on Auckland's North Shore, Safe Swim has labelled all but three beaches as unsafe.
Herne Bay, Home Bay, Judges Bay, and Te Tinana have all been black-flagged.
