Ebalow is a left point break that stands out in an area filled with right-handers. It works best with east swells, though it can also handle some northeast and southeast waves. You'll want light Berg winds for the best conditions here. The spot uses the Mfatakatye rivermouth channel to keep the surf up, but be cautious, as big south to southwest swells can close out the bay. It's definitely not the most consistent place, but it can offer some fun sessions when the stars align.

The waves at Ebalow are best for intermediate surfers. They tend to break over uneven reef and sand, creating a point setup that forms lefts. It can handle swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) nicely, especially with a low to mid tide. The ideal wind direction is northwest, which can help clean up the surf. Overall, you might not find glassy perfection here, but if it's working, you're in for a decent ride.

This spot is tucked away deep in 4WD country, which means the crowd factor is usually low. Since it’s more remote, you might get some solitude out there, especially compared to more popular surf spots. Just make sure to check the conditions before you head out, and enjoy the unique setup Ebalow has to offer.
