Recent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - Tasman Bay

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.
