The Interislander and Bluebridge ferry companies have cancelled multiple sailings as severe weather rolls through the Wellington and the Top of the South today.

Wellington is bracing for heavy swells of up to 6 metres as a front bringing heavy rain and gales makes its way up the country.

Metservice warned big waves were recorded on the capital's South Coast and Eastbourne. Wellington Region Emergency Management Office had reported that debris had already washed up along the coast as of 10:30.

All Interislander Services between Picton and Wellington today have been cancelled, with today's Bluebridge sailings cancelled and tomorrow's early morning services also scratched.
