Chandy's is a beach break located along the southwestern Massachusetts coastline near the Rhode Island border, picking up southeast and south swells that funnel into the area through Buzzards Bay and beyond. The spot faces northwest along its transect, meaning it benefits from refracted and wrapped swell energy, producing punchy, shifty peaks that reward surfers who can read the sandbars. Fall brings the best combination of hurricane groundswell and favorable winds, making it a seasonal favorite among local Massachusetts surfers.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Chandy's is 1-2ft with a 6.5s swell period. Wind is WSW at 5mph and conditions are rated Poor - Fair. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
