Surf Airport Rights

Airport Rights - Wellington, New Zealand Airport Rights features a powerful, hollow reef break with sharp rocks and coral, making it a challenging spot for surfers. The waves are best at mid to high tide, particularly during a rising tide, and are influenced by swells from the southwest, south, and southeast. Access is straightforward, located at the southern end of the Wellington airport runway, with instant access available. This unique surf spot is known for its eerie atmosphere, with aircraft taking off and landing nearby. While it may seem like a perfect wave, the dangers of falling off and being dragged across the inside reef make it a location that most surfers only visit once. Despite its intimidating nature, the waves become safer as they increase in size. With minimal crowds during the week and weekend, Airport Rights offers an isolated surfing experience, but caution is advised due to the presence of rocks and man-made hazards.
