The Dump 2 (Hatchet Bay Area)

The Dump 2 is a point-break surfing spot in the Hatchet Bay area of Central Eleuthera. It’s generally known for producing consistent surf when the right conditions arrive, with accounts emphasizing clean, rideable point waves—often fast and hollow on the better swells. Conditions and quality are strongly dependent on the swell and wind combination. The spot is commonly linked with north-associated wind benefits, while the cleanest faces are described when winds come offshore from the west or southwest. On the optimal swell direction, the right-hand waves can hold size well, though they may become heavy and more difficult to paddle out as the swell builds. Safety is a central concern: the launch/entry is described as rocky and rugged, with sharp coral heads, rocky ledges, and numerous sea urchins. Hazards also include sharks, and the location is remote with no organized on-site rescue services—so bringing appropriate safety gear, a first aid kit, and all supplies is strongly advised. In terms of when to go, best tide is reported as mid tide and the best month is September, while broader seasonal timing for the area points to winter swells as the most consistent period. Crowd levels are typically low, including on good days, making it a good option for riders who prefer less crowded lineups.
