Report from RNZ
Waves up to 6 metres are forecast for Wellington’s south coast from Tuesday morning, and residents on the coast are urged to take care.
MetService has issued a warning for Wellington from 6am on Tuesday to 11pm on Wednesday.
The southerly swells are due from Baring Head to Sinclair Head at Ōwhiro Bay, and the biggest risk period is high tides on Tuesday 8.24am and 8.54pm and on Wednesday at 9.18am and 9.48pm. Swells will ease by Wednesday, dropping to around 4 metres.
WREMO warns that people living close to surf exposed coastlines should be prepared for the possibility of waves and debris on roads.
