Beach rules:
It's a beach for 2 hotels and many locals. Far too busy to safely launch and land during summer. If riding during summer, go up to Warwick Long Bay. This beach is less popular and even has a 20ft reef rock to jump over! Elbow Beach is fine for the winter months though.

Wind details:
Winds are better in winter (at least 3 days a week are rideable). You can surf this spot from East/Northeast all the way around to West/Southwest. They vary from 10-30 knots. Many 15-25 knot days during winter. Easterly or West/Southwesterly are nice because they're directly side-offshore keeping the water mostly flat. Some Southeasterly and Southwesterly winds give rollers, not waves, but they're just enough to give you a little boost upwards.

Water details:
There is a reef line about 100 m out which keeps the water relatively flat, but some days it is really choppy. Can be really choppy and awful or with sideshore winds perfectly flat.
