Indian River Northside surf guide

Indian River Northside is a surf spot that provides a mix of waves for surfers of different skill levels. It’s located along the coast and is known for its long, rolling waves, making it a popular choice among surfers looking to enjoy a laid-back session. The sandy bottom keeps things relatively friendly for those riding the waves, though the spot can get crowded, especially on good days.

The surf tends to work best with east swell directions and is also good when the swell comes from the northeast or south. It can handle swell sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and offers right-breaking waves. The best time to catch waves here is during low, mid, or even high tide, with west winds being favorable. The breaks are typically long, providing enough room for both short and longboarders to enjoy their rides.

As sand pumping from the inlet changes the bars often, surfers need to pay attention to how the spot might be affected with each visit. Even though it can get consistent, it's worth noting that the crowd can build up quickly. This spot is great for those looking to enjoy varied conditions, just be prepared to share the wave space with others!
