There are two waves named Garbage Dumps Rights and Lefts. The right is a point break with slow moving walls. The left is also a point break, best on the low tide. The ride ends in front of a rocky shelf. East winds are offshore and it needs a biggish swell before it works. Lots of kelp around.
The Jay Bay of the West Coast. In the right conditions, this waves gets classic. A rocky, kelp covered shelf, or small point, which turns a corner and becomes sand at a small river mouth. The swell refracts around the outer area of Elands Bay and peaks at the point, producing a hollow take-off and cylindrical wall that runs for about 150 metres. Needs a solid SW swell of 8' before it wraps around the point. If Cape Town is a solid 6-8', and the northern suburbs are 3-4', chances are Elands will be 3-5'. Handles any S wind. Dominant wind is SE.
Excellent shallow beachbreak that offers good barrels ond often fairly long rides depending on conditions. The wave starts to break on big swell off a rocky sandbar and eventually hits the shorebreak section. Winter its good. Come when theres a medium to big westcoast swell, SSW (5-8) and this place will be going off!
