Huge waves batter Wellington coast, flood homes

From Checkpoint, 5:17 pm on 15 April 2020

Huge waves have been hitting Wellington's south coast on Wednesday forcing people to leave their homes and injuring one person who got dragged out to sea.

A big southerly swell sent waves about six metres high onto the road - hitting Ōwhiro Bay through to Breaker Bay particularly hard.
