Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - Tasman Bay

  1. Overhead clean set waves with light wnds sounds ideal but there was a very strong sidehore current and a lot of the surf was dumpy. Just a handful of surfers out and having short sessions. Ruby Bay was better shape and smaller but the road was closed a long way short of the campground so nobody was surfing the point.

  2. Wednesday afternoon offered mostly shoulder-high set waves though it was still head-high just as we paddled out at 1pm. The easterly stayed the right side of offshore so although it was on the smaller side, it was ok. Mostly cloudy with brief drizzle and the odd sunny spell.

    Wharariki Beach, 99 km away
