Eland's Bay hamlet sits on a sandy riverbank, waiting for a swell to hit The Point. Steep drops into fast tubular walls, spinning across a kelp covered, low tide reef before bending into a sandy end section at the rivermouth.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
