Happy Wanderers surf guide

Happy Wanderers is a surf spot located near a caravan park at Kelso, which provides private access to the waves. If you're not staying at the park, you can still get there, but you'll need to pay a fee or take a hike to get around. The spot tends to have lower crowds since many surfers opt for the convenience of staying at the park.

The waves here work best with a south-west swell direction and can handle swell sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter). You can also catch some fun surf when the swell is coming from the east or south-west. The breaks are over rock ledge and sand, offering both point breaks, and the waves generally roll to the right. For the best conditions, a north-west wind is preferred, and the waves can be surfed during low, mid, and high tide. This spot is ideal for intermediate surfers looking for something a bit more laid-back.

If you're planning to hit Happy Wanderers, be aware that it's a good idea to check the tides and wind directions before heading out. The combination of the right swell and wind can make for a decent session. Enjoy your time in the water!
