Dino's Left surf guide

Dino's Left is a surf spot located just up the beach from Tofo, known for its challenging waves that appeal primarily to expert surfers. This spot serves up some quality left-hand waves when the conditions are right, making it a destination for those looking for something a bit more intense than the beginner-friendly breaks found nearby.

To get the best out of Dino's Left, you're gonna want an easterly swell, preferably coming from the NorthEast or SouthEast. It can handle swell sizes starting from 2 ft (about 0.6 meters) and can potentially deliver some fun rides. The waves break over dead coral, which can be a bit tricky but rewarding for those who know what they're doing. The best wind direction is from the west, and it works well at low, mid, and high tides. So, definitely check the tide charts before you head out!

This spot is definitely not for the faint of heart, so make sure you're an expert before paddling out. It's the kind of place where you need to know your surf skills inside and out to truly appreciate the waves it offers.
