Delaware Bay Point

Delaware Bay Point is the sharper left-hand line at the Delaware Bay mouth, where a long mud-flat access mission can pay off in hollow, barreling sections when the bay wakes up. It is a remote-feeling Nelson coast setup with the point side carrying the more memorable line. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Delaware Bay Point in Nelson.

Lineup Guide

Park above the bay, walk the mud flats, then paddle across the river; currents and rips are common, and the point side is the line to watch when the bay wakes up.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
