Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - West Coast

  1. Lovely day with light breezes that were never worse than cross-shore. The swell of the past few days would have been a bit small for here but it was joined by a building groundswell of more than 20 seconds. Although this second swell was only about 0.5m, it was enough to create sets to about head-high every 15 minutes or so. Slowly increasing as the tide dropped. Just 2 surfers out.

Information about the Anatori River Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Anatori River provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 12 days. A general guide to surfing at Anatori River can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anatori River surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Anatori River) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anatori River may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
