Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Kaikoura and Marlborough

  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.
