See below for latest updates on the earthquake and marine warning:
08.57:Auckland Civil Defence controller Clive Manly says Radio New Zealand the tsunami warning has been downgraded to "a marine threat".
"There is no tsunami threat but will be a strong current ... disturbances will go on for a few hours."
08.51:Pacific Tsunami Warning Center scientist Barry Hirshorn told Newstalk ZB the quake generated a 1.9 metre tsunami at Raoul Island.
08.48: Civil Defence national controller David Coetzee said the marine threat was "all the down the east coast to Hawkes Bay."
His advice was to stay out of the water all day, with a strong current likely and unpredictable turbulence in the water.
Any surge could be up to one metre but "probably around 60cm was a calculated guess."
"My advice is to stay out of the water all day."
When asked if people could go and watch the tidal surge, he responded "why would you want to do that, get on with your life."
