Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - Tasman Bay

  1. High tide on Friday afternoon saw the return of warm sunshine and a change from northerly to light SE winds. Bigger and better than it looked with fun shoulders about head-high. Only a few surfers in but more were arriving when I left.
