Elephant Seal Napier, Hawkes bay

I have just seen a video of a female elephant seal just arrived somewhere on a Napier beach, I am trying to find out where it was reported but it is very recent.

Spent a bit in the morning before work and then 40mins after work looking for it but nothing, it could moved up or down the coast. It looked very cool in the video i saw with it standing up.
