Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Gisborne and Mahia

  1. Sunday was just as this website forecast. A lovely sunny day with offshore winds srong enough to add some bump around noon before going very light south late afternoon. Just 4 longboarders left out by high tide and only about shoulder high by then.
