North Indialantic at the Boardwalk area is one of Central Florida's most dependable waves, exposed to multiple swell angles at the end of SR 192. The outside bar sets up best at mid tide, while the inside produces a hollow, tubing shorebreak that detonates over sand and sharp coquina shells in inches of water. A high-performance spot with an energetic, competitive local scene.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at North Indialantic is 2-3ft with a 4.35s swell period. Wind is ESE at 12mph and conditions are rated Poor - Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
