Winds in winter are better. You can surf this spot from East/Northeast all the way around to West/Southwest. During winter at least 3 days a week are rideable. Winds vary from 10-30 knots. Many 15-25 knot days during winter. Easterly or West/Southwesterly are nice because they're directly sideoffshore keeping the water mostly flat. Some Southeasterly and Southwesterly winds give rollers, not waves, but they're just enough to give you a little boost upwards.

It's a beach for 2 hotels and many locals. Far too busy to safely launch and land during summer. If riding during summer, go up to Warwick Long Bay. This beach is less popular and even has a 20ft reef rock to jump over! Elbow Beach is fine for the winter months though.
