Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Kaikoura and Marlborough

  1. The light NW left some lump on the swell, even after the wind fell light about 4pm. Just myself out and about shoulder-high waves. It was improving in terms of size and shape but it got too dark to surf. Clear skies and mild temperatures for July.
