Able Head is a mountain in Tasman, New Zealand, with its summit at about 510 ft (157 m) above sea level. It stands inside Abel Tasman National Park. No mapped trail reaches the top in OpenStreetMap, so plan the approach with local maps or a guide. The nearest town is Ligar Bay, about 7.8 miles east of the summit. Peaks within about 3 miles include Awaroa Head, Mount Rollinson and Waiharakeke Bay. For camping, Awaroa Glamping and Awaroa Campsite are within about 6 miles. In a typical February, the warmest month, highs reach about 67°F (19°C) and lows about 59°F (15°C); in July, the coldest, highs are about 52°F (11°C) and lows about 46°F (8°C). Precipitation falls on about 17 days in September, the wettest month, and about 9 days in February, the driest. These typical figures for 1981–2010 come from the CHELSA 1 km climate model and CRU TS 4.09. The location and elevation come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Check local access rules and conditions before you go.
