Wellington waves – 15th March 2010

A line up off the Wellington South Coast

The beaches around Wellington city in New Zealand aren’t renowned for consistent surf, you need to head out to the Wairarapa coast for that. So when a 3-4m ground swell is forecast to race up the eastern coast of the south Island of New Zealand, then there is always hope & anticipation amongst the Wellington surfing community.

When the swell did finally arrive it wasn’t as big as hoped for and a bit of a let down really…I’ve seen bigger & better days on lesser swell forecasts, but I did manage to capture a few images anyway.
