Outer Cut Surf Guide
Outer Cut in Nelson - Tasman Bay is a quite exposed point break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds are from the southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Clean groundswells prevail and the optimum swell angle is from the north northwest. There is no point break. Best around low tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.
