Eyeball surf reportRecent Eyeball Surf Reports for Nelson - West Coast

  1. A nice long period west swell made for head-high set waves on Friday afternoon incoming tide but short period crossing waves, especially from the east. Improved as the easterly wind and its waves dropped as the tide came in. Just 2 surfers out.
