A sizeable waterspout has been spotted in Auckland, but it appears to have caused little damage.
The waterspout was seen on Waitemata Harbour about 4pm Wednesday.
A police spokesman confirmed it was seen from its communications centre in Grey Lynn "but it went out to sea and we haven't had any damage reports".
Weather Watch analyst Philip Duncan says unstable weather over the upper North Island was responsible for the waterspout.
