EDIT
ORIGINAL
Lyall Bay has one main spot "The Wall" which is a very good left hander,breaking off a break wall at the eastern end of the beach. The rest of 1500 meters of beach is made up of avrage beach breaks, nothing flash.
There is also a bombora off shore which is rearly surfed, and only breaks on a large swell.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
As most city beaches it can get crowded, especailly in summer. There is little localisim as so many people surf there. A great place to learn, but once you've passed the beginner stage
the are big and better waves in the area.
Also remember due to the close proxsimity of the south island this can limit the ammount of swell that gets in to Wellington. So when Wellington gets good you know the Wairarapa is going off. |
| |
General |
Good little waves when the bars are working well.
The proposed site of an artificial reef project. |
