Wada is a surf spot located in a scenic area with a mix of break types. It features a combination of reefs and beaches that cater to various swell directions, mainly from the NorthEast and South. It’s a popular location among local surfers, but it’s not as crowded as some other spots nearby, making it a decent option if you’re looking for a more relaxed session.
The waves at Wada can handle sizes from 1 ft (about 0.3 m) up to double-overhead on some days. The breaks happen over uneven reefs and sand, providing surfers with a mix of left and right waves. The best conditions usually come with NorthWest winds and can work well at low, mid, and high tides. While it’s mostly suitable for intermediate surfers, those with a bit of experience will find some fun rides here when the swell is right.
Even with the rivermouth nearby, the water quality at Wada is generally decent, keeping it clean for surfers. Parking does require a fee in most places, so be prepared for that. It’s a good idea to check the main point from the bridge for a quick overview of the conditions before hitting the surf.
