Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - Tasman Bay

  1. Smaller swell than Friday and the local SE wind was blowing stronglu cross off and generating a wind-chop at the point. Just 6 out here. I surfed the middle of the bay instead, where the waves looked biggest. Still wind-affected but some good shape waves, generally about shoulder-high.
