Outer Cut Surf Guide
Outer Cut in Nelson - Tasman Bay is a fairly exposed point break that only works when conditions are just right with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds blow from the southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the optimum swell angle is from the north northwest. There is no point break. Best around low tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Be wary of rips - they make surfing here dangerous.
