New Zealand’s Earthquake Commission and Geological Survey (GeoNet) reported a magnitude 4.6 quake in New Zealand near New Plymouth, New Plymouth District, Taranaki, 33 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Tuesday, November 11th, 2025, at 7:51 am local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 217.50 km. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the United States Geological Survey at magnitude 4.6, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Taumarunui (pop. 5,000) located 9 km from the epicenter. In Te Kuiti (pop. 4,900, 61 km away), Taupo (pop. 26,500, 84 km away), New Plymouth (pop. 87,300, 95 km away), Tokoroa (pop. 14,500, 96 km away), and Te Awamutu (pop. 14,000, 99 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
