It's definitely possible.
Wind at ground level - SW at 10-12 knots,
Wind at 6500ft a bit more south but still over the hills. - 20 knots
Only problem is the chance of showers that will hang up on the Kaimai's and destroy the airflow.
Let's see shall we...
If it's looking promising in the morning I might drag GNM out for a wave flight.
Update - But it wasn't that good...instead I rigged GNM and put it in the club hanger, and climbed in the local motor-glider (I still can't spell the name pipistel -or similiar) and spent an hour checking out a non-active Piako and soaring in the pressure wave on the Kaimai's.
