Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - West Coast

  1. Thursday afternoon rising tide had a good swell; about shoulder to head-high with the occasional bigger set. Many straight waves but also some shoulders but I found it hard to be in the rights spot. The swell seemed to be dropping as the tide came in but just after sunset it pulsed too big for a while. Sunny. SE breeze went light. Two surfers.
