How It Breaks
Indialantic Boardwalk is a sand-bottom beach break that sits right next to the boardwalk, with shops and parking close enough to walk to. That convenience is exactly why crowd runs moderate to high here on any decent day. It's rated beginner-intermediate and friendly for both shortboards and longboards, and a full check of the spot confirms the setup, right down to sharp coquina shells near the structures that are worth knowing about.
Best Conditions
Best swell is NE to E with a W or SW offshore wind and a mid tide window. Winter NE windswell and fall hurricane swells are the two seasons to watch. Hazards here are rip currents, the crowd itself, and rocks near the structures, including those sharp coquina shells, so watch your footing getting in and out.
Cam Line and Know Before You Go
Watch the live cam at Surf Guru before you make the drive over. Know the flags and rip currents before paddling out, and stay aware of the rocks near the pilings and structures; the sharp coquina shells there can cut bare feet.
Parking and Local Tips
Parking is metered and paid on the street, and it can get tight on a good day, so budget extra time to find a spot. Local tip: the Nance Park peak is the one to know, best on an E or SE swell with W wind and a mid tide, a consistent local favorite. Bizzarro Pizza and the rest of the Fifth Avenue strip are right there after a session.
Gear and the Shop
A shortboard or a longboard both work here, so bring whichever you ride, along with a wetsuit for the winter NE windswell months. Island Water Sports carries surfboards, wetsuits, leashes, wax and traction, fins, ding repair kits, and board bags online. Indialantic Boardwalk sits well north of our South Florida stores, so check the full list of Island Water Sports locations for the shop closest to your drive.
