The search for missing Otorohanga man Thomas Phillips and his three children has resumed at Marokopa today.
Search leaders, police and members from the local community have been discussing search plans this afternoon.
Some searchers have gone out in a boat over the estuary around Marokopa Beach.
1News reporter Carolyn Robinson says weather conditions remain “very difficult” in Waikato.
Police said new teams are coming in today to refresh the existing teams, and include police staff working with drones.
"While the current search base at Marokopa Hall will be stood down today, search efforts are not over.
"Police remain determined to bring answers to the family and community, and work will continue to do this."
Phillips and his three young children, Jayda, 8, Maverick-Callum, 6, and Ember, 5, were last seen on Saturday 11 September at Marokopa, west of Te Kuiti.
His abandoned ute was found in the surf at Kiritehere Beach the following day.
It's now day six of the search on the rugged King Country coastline for Phillips and his children.
The weather is pleasant and sunny, with clouds in the distance.
