| Description: | The island of Eleuthera offers some of the most consistent and powerful surf in the Bahamas. 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, and then the months of August, September and October bring the possibility of hurricane surf in warm, clear water.
Bahamas Out-Island Adventures is the first company to offer 1 day, 2 day/1night, 3 day/2 night and 4 day/3 night guided camping surfaris, seeking out and surfing the best waves on the island every day. Our surf guides know where all the best breaks are and under what swell, tide and wind conditions they work best. More often than not we have these breaks all to ourselves. At night we camp by firelight under the stars and sleep in comfortable tents listening to the surf roll in. All our meals are healthy, interesting and delicious! When the surf is flat or for a change of pace, we go snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, or exploring caves, blue holes and beautiful beaches. |
