Name: Lyall Bay
Address: New Zealand

conditions & access

“Great wave & wind spot, typically onshore conditions with a southerly weather system. This is Wellington's main surf spot so stay clear of the surfers - foilers and windsurfers tend to rig and launch from the western end of the beach whereas the surfers tend to be closer to the airport.”
