Chandy's is a beach break located along the southwestern Massachusetts coastline near the Rhode Island border, picking up southeast and south swells that funnel into the area through Buzzards Bay and beyond. The spot faces northwest along its transect, meaning it benefits from refracted and wrapped swell energy, producing punchy, shifty peaks that reward surfers who can read the sandbars. Fall brings the best combination of hurricane groundswell and favorable winds, making it a seasonal favorite among local Massachusetts surfers.
