Recent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - West Coast

The light NW left some lump on the swell, even after the wind fell light about 4pm. Just myself out and about shoulder-high waves. It was improving in terms of size and shape but it got too dark to surf. Clear skies and mild temperatures for July.
