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 1-2ft with a 5.5s swell period. Wind is ENE at 13mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at North Indialantic is 1-2ft, produced by a 1.9ft E wind swell swell at 6s, a 1.1ft ENE secondary swell at 10s, a 1ft E tertiary swell at 9s, a 0.9ft N wind swell swell at 5s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf North Indialantic is Friday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 3ft waves, a 5.4s swell period, and conditions rated Poor - Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.

Our North Indialantic forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
