Recent Eyeball Surf Reports for West Coast South Island

A lovely sunny winter's day. The wind and waves were as forecast with the fresh SE breeze falling very light offshore SSE around the mid-afternoon high tide. Surf was generally a bit too small with set waves between waist and shoulder high. Improved as the tide dropped but really, this was a day to be down the coast again; just like the prevvious 3 days.
