Indian Wells Beach is a sandy beach break on Long Island's North Shore that catches northeast Atlantic swells and nor'easters during fall and winter months. The beach's northwest-facing orientation makes it ideal for capturing swell energy while offshore southwest winds help shape the waves into clean, organized peaks. This mellow, welcoming break offers small to medium waves perfect for learning, with the sandy bottom providing soft landings and forgiving conditions.
