Indian Rocks Beach in Alabama is an exposed beach break that seldom sees quality surf, with winter offering the most favorable conditions. The waves are predominantly windswells due to the short fetch, with the best surf occurring when a northwest swell meets offshore winds from the east. The beach break offers both left and right-handers and is rarely crowded. The most consistent clean waves are found in winter, with January being the prime month.
