About

A great trip for Florida Surfers in the winter. When it's small, you can spearfish and catch some serious mackers off the reefs. This place is very consistent in the winter. Don't expect 10-15ft, but you'll probably score 3-7ft fun surf.
There are also several channnels and passages near the Island that hold epic surf as well. Get a boat and explore!

Atmosphere:
Garbonzo is the farthest break west on Elbow Cay. When the swell gets really large, Rush Reef breaks in front of the Abaco Inn. One of the best waves on the east coast. There's a few breaks near the hotel. A fun left called the pool. Breaks right in front of the hotel bar and pool. The paddle out to both these is easy. you start from sand and flat rock before you hit the reefs.

Additional Info:
This spot is very consistent and fun. The reef can be very hairy at low tide when you walk out to the break.
You don't have to worry too much about getting bounced off the coral because it breaks pretty deep. The real problem
is getting in and out of the water. You have to do some serious dancing. There's urchins and fire coral that can hurt. I've stepped on both.
