Depends on which agency you believe. JMA had Surigae peaking with a minimum central pressure of 895 hPa, 120 kt max 10-minute winds (137 kt 1-minute winds) and 170 kt max gusts. Certainly one of the more impressive high-end typhoons though.

That’s a monster. GFS long range has possibly an ex-TC impacting NZ in the first week of May but clearly too far out to draw any conclusions.
