Eclipse is a surf spot that's a bit off the beaten path, making it feel pretty secluded. It's accessible by a somewhat passable road during the dry season, but if you’re looking to visit during the wet season, getting there by boat is often the better choice. The setting is pretty chill, surrounded by nature, which can add to the experience of catching some waves.

The surf at Eclipse gives you both lefts and rights, best enjoyed at the beachbreak beside the rivermouth and the rocky point. This spot is well-situated to catch north-west swells, although it really shines with peaky and smaller south-west swells, especially at lower tides. It handles swell sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters) pretty comfortably, breaking over uneven reef and sand. It's a good spot for intermediate surfers looking to work on their skills, thanks to the wave types that include rivermouth setups.

When you’re planning your session, keep in mind that the best wind direction is north-east, and low to mid tides are preferable for more consistent waves. The overall vibe here is relaxed, making it a decent place to catch some rides and enjoy the surroundings. It’s not the most hyped spot around, but it can serve up a fun session when conditions line up.
