Point
Best swell
ENE to SW
A jutting point about 4km south of town, named for the wild elephants that visit at dawn and dusk, with a mellow right that suits improvers on the inside and a longer wall when it is bigger. It needs a medium to large swell to break, so it sits smaller than Main Point. Best early before the wind at mid tide. East-coast season, May to October.
Heads up. Rocks at the point, shallow sections, crocodiles in the lagoon you cross, lagoon crossing.

AboutThe swell is wrapping in at the right angle with a long 14-second period that will hold shape all the way through the point, but the cross-shore south-westerly wind this morning is softening the faces and the size probably peaks at chest to overhead. This is a confident surfer's wave today, not a mellow improver's one: the power is real even if Elephant Rock usually breaks softer than Main Point. The 11am window is your shot because the wind swings offshore by afternoon, but right now the cross-shore chop is costing you face quality.
By 3pm the wind turns north-westerly and offshore, cleaning the faces noticeably, though the swell will have faded slightly to chest-high or just under. That later window suits anyone who missed the morning peak or prefers glassy conditions over size.
Tomorrow the swell drops to stomach to overhead and the outlook sits at the same fair rating, best in the morning before the wind swings again. The forecast is firm enough to plan around, though size this far ahead always carries a margin of error and the difference between a solid session and a soft one can hinge on swell direction staying true.
