Wanda surf guide

Wanda is a surf spot located along a curving beach that stretches up to the Greenhills section. There's plenty of space to move around between the main access points, making it easy to find your own little spot to catch some waves. The area has seen some changes over the years, particularly due to sand mining and dune stabilisation, which means that you might encounter a few more closeouts than you’d like. It’s worth noting that the surf scene here is quite casual, making it a good choice for getting in the water without the big crowds often found in other popular spots.

The optimal swell direction for Wanda is from the Southeast, but it can also handle swells coming from the East and South. When it comes to size, you’ll find that it works well with swell sizes around 1ft (0.3m). The waves here mostly break over sand and can produce beach breaks that go left and right. For the best conditions, check it out with winds coming from the Northwest and during low to mid to high tides. This spot is beginner-friendly, so if you’re just getting into surfing, it's a solid choice to practice your skills.

If you’re planning to surf at Wanda, remember to park and take a nice walk north to find some good waves. The setting is relaxed, making it a good place to chill out and enjoy the surf as you work on your technique.
