Waves in Eleuthera are excellent, and opposite our Pure Vacations Surf Lodge it is always fun and challenging on every swell.

The island of Eleuthera offers some of the most consistent and powerful surf in the Bahamas and Caribbean in general. Point breaks, reef breaks and beach breaks, Eleuthera has it all. The island is surrounded by deep Atlantic Ocean on its North and East sides, and that is where the best breaks are located.

North coast breaks work on anything from N through NE, East coast breaks on anything from N to SE, predominantly lefts but there are some rights. A 3000-foot drop in the ocean floor, one mile offshore, acts as a swell magnet that can channel in swells from as far away as Africa and the Azores.

The best season for surf is October through April for size and consistency. When strong cold fronts go off the east coast of the US, winds typically switch offshore and the surf gets GOOD! From May through July, it's typically small but real fun, and then the months of August, September and October bring the possibility of hurricane surf in warm, clear water – this can be really exciting.
