The Wave
West is the clean offshore lane, east-northeast is the main trigger, and mid tide is usually the best window with high tide still workable.
Surf GuideQueensland
Elliott Heads
Elliott Heads is the Bundaberg river-mouth reef break behind the surf club: a short, punchy setup between the groynes just north of the Elliott River mouth. It likes east-northeast swell and west wind, can pick up quickly when the bank lines up, and keeps a rocky, current-prone character even on small days. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Elliott Heads in Queensland.

Lineup Guide
Access is off Lihs Street beside the surf club and caravan park, with the main beach backed by the club and groynes.
Watch the rocks, submerged objects, strong currents, and buoy hazards; the club patrols on weekends and public holidays in season, and the lineup can get crowded when it is on.
