Elbow surf guide

Elbow is a surf spot located near the bend in the breakwater, known for its soft, long right-hand waves. It's a popular spot among surfers because it tends to be consistent, making it a reliable choice when you’re looking to catch some waves. There are also some more beach peaks up towards North Point, which can add some variety to your session. However, expect a bit of a crowd, especially since it's one of the more consistent spots around the Lakes.

The waves at Elbow generally break over sand and are best with a northeast swell. It handles swell sizes around 3 ft (about 1 meter), making it suitable for beginners looking to practice their skills. The preferred wind direction is from the west, which can help shape the waves nicely. You can surf here at low, mid, or high tides, giving you some flexibility in your plans.

Aside from the waves, the beach environment can vary, and since it’s popular, it might get busy, especially on good days. If you're just starting out or looking for a chill session, Elbow can be a decent option, but it's a good idea to keep an eye out for the crowd and choose your time wisely.
