Dinahs Beach surf guide

Dinahs Beach is a remote surf spot located on the eastern peninsula. It’s the last road-accessible beach in this area and offers a long stretch of sand that’s mostly empty. Since it’s a bit off the beaten path, it’s a great place for surfers looking for some peace away from the crowded spots. However, be prepared for the rips and more challenging conditions as it’s not ideal for beginners.

The surf here can be pretty powerful, especially at the north end where you might catch some solid triangular peaks. The optimal swell direction is from the Southeast, but it can also handle swells coming from the Northeast and South. You’ll find that it works well with swell sizes starting at around 1 ft (0.3 m) and breaks over sand. The waves typically roll in as both lefts and rights, making it suitable for a bit of variety. For the best conditions, aim for times when the wind is coming from the Northwest and when the tide is either low, mid, or high.

Since Dinahs Beach is known for its remoteness, it’s definitely better suited for surfers who have some experience. Make sure to respect the ocean and be aware of your surroundings, as you might find yourself pretty isolated out there. It's a solid spot for those looking to escape the crowds and catch some decent waves.
