Indian River Inlet
Edit SpotAbout
IR Inlet has some pros and cons. Pros are the constantly changing waves and mellow locals. Cons are crabs,stingrays,sealice, and occasionaly shorebreak.
Atmosphere:
The localism here is pretty calm, except for a little tension between shortboarders and longboarders. I would have to say that IR is a pretty mellow place.
Additional Info:
Bring your funshape,longboard,shortboard. June through July is average 3 foot. But August and September are pretty big because of hurricane season. Winter swells are nice, but bring a fullsuit because the water is 44 degrees in winter.
