Wanda is a beach break on an ever-curving stretch of sand that runs up to the Wanda and Greenhills section, giving you plenty of room to spread out between the main access points. It picks up both lefts and rights, though sand starved by mining and dune stabilisation means closeouts are more common than they once were.
When It Works
Wanda draws swell from east through south, with southeast (SE) the best match. Northeast swells get filtered out by Kurnell Point, so it's the more southerly angles that switch it on. It's a consistent break that works from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 3 m / 10 ft. If you're willing to walk, southeast swell on a mid tide is the combination to look for.
Wind and Tide
Look for northwest (NW) offshore wind, though winds from the north are increasingly offshore here too. The bank works through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is a beginner-friendly beach, and it draws a busy lineup when it's working.
Access
Park at Wanda and wander north to find your patch. There's a car park with free parking, plus paid and roadside options nearby. Facilities include restrooms, showers, a surf school and a surf shop, with lifeguards on hand.
