Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - Tasman Bay

  1. Wednesday afternoon offered mostly shoulder-high set waves though it was still head-high just as we paddled out at 1pm. The easterly stayed the right side of offshore so although it was on the smaller side, it was ok. Mostly cloudy with brief drizzle and the odd sunny spell.
