Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for West Coast South Island

  1. Not bad for Golden Bay's quirky corner. Light offshore here on the falling tide with waist to shoulder high clean waves. Suprisingly setty. Lovely shape but short period and powerless as the tide dropped. A strong cross-on wind everywhere else with a lone windsurfer having a blast at Parapara beach.
