The Gxulu is a significant estuary system within the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, forming one of the region's seven main river catchments that drain into the Indian Ocean. This tidal river provides a critical transitional habitat between freshwater and marine environments, supporting a diverse ecosystem and offering anglers opportunities for inshore and estuarine fishing. Its waters are influenced by tidal movements, creating dynamic fishing conditions.

Prime locations focus on structure and tidal flow. The estuary mouth itself is a key area, especially where the outgoing river current meets the incoming ocean tide. Deeper channels, drop-offs, and the edges of sand and mud banks are productive spots where fish ambush prey. The confluence of any smaller tributaries with the main estuary channel can also create productive seams.
