Elba Island - Margidore surf guide

Elba Island - Margidore is a surf spot located on the eastern edge of Margidore Bay. It's known for its nice left-hand waves and generally clean conditions. The spot isn’t too crowded, which can be a bonus for those looking for a bit more space to enjoy their session. The bottom is rocky, so make sure you're mindful of that when paddling out.

This spot works best with south or southeast to southwest swells, typically handling swell sizes of around 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves break over a rock ledge and can be a bit punchy, making it more suited for expert surfers. The best winds come from the north, and you can surf it during low, mid, or high tides. Just keep in mind that the waves here mainly break left, so adjust your positioning accordingly.

If you’re planning to hit Margidore, it’s worth checking the wind and swell forecasts to ensure you catch it at its best. The rocky bottom does mean a bit more caution is needed, but if you’re up for the challenge, it can be a rewarding spot to ride some waves.
