Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - West Coast

  1. Nice conditions on Golden Bay's west coast reefs on Sunday with clean conditions at set waves around head-high at exposed spots. Sunny and mostly very light winds. The surf started glassy but the easterly wind off Farewell Spit and the SW wind towards Kahurangi Point added crossing local wind waves in the afternoon mix, so less good..
