A magnitude 3.3 earthquake near Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, was reported only 23 minutes ago by New Zealand’s Earthquake Commission and Geological Survey (GeoNet), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in New Zealand. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 5.10 km beneath the epicenter in the evening on Friday, October 31st, 2025, at 8:31 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.3 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ohinemutu (pop. 1,100) located 17 km from the epicenter, Rotorua (pop. 65,900) 20 km away, Kawerau (pop. 7,800) 20 km away, Ngongotaha (pop. 5,200) 24 km away, Kaharoa (pop. 1,600) 26 km away, and Te Puke (pop. 10,500) 41 km away. In Whakatane (pop. 18,600, 49 km away), and Tauranga (pop. 155,200, 56 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
