Dingalan is a bit of a trek to get to, but it offers a long stretch of southeast-facing beach perfect for surfers looking for less crowded waves. While the scenery might not be the most impressive, the vibe is chill, and you can often find a bit of peace away from the more popular surf spots.

The surf at Dingalan is best when the swell comes from the east, but it can also handle north swell. You can expect waves around 2 ft. (0.6 meters) breaking over sand. It's mainly a beach break, which means you’ll have some left and right waves to choose from. This spot works well with low to mid tide, but it can also be surfable during high tide. If the wind is coming from the northwest, that’s ideal for cleaner conditions. It’s a suitable spot for beginners, so it’s a great place to practice your skills without feeling overwhelmed.

For those looking for some solitude, Dingalan often delivers on that front, making it a good option if you don’t mind the journey. Just remember, it might not always serve up epic waves, but there’s always the chance to score some fun ones with the right conditions.
