Weather experts are forecasting major swells of up to six metres to slam Wellington's south coast from early Tuesday morning.
MetService has issued a Heavy Swell Warning for 41 hours between 6am Tuesday and 11pm Wednesday.
It covers the coastline between Sinclair Head and Baring Head.
In April last year, five homes had to be evacuated after six metre waves flooded roads and front yards between Owhiro and Breaker Bay.
One person was knocked over by the waves and had to be taken to hospital with moderate injuries.
