Blindfolded you see nothing.
Night time you have the moon, the lights of the city, all the lights of the bayside homes along the shore, the yacht clubs it would be enough to guide you.
Besides, your eyes adjust.
I used to do a fair bit of night (shortboard) surfing as a teenager. I've got no idea why, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. The hardest bit was judging how steep a wave was when taking off as we'd tend to do it on a full moon, which would be rising offshore, so taking off there would be just a dark pit in front of you, once on a wave it was surprisingly easy as you could go by feel.
