Dinas Dinlle is situated south of Caernarfon and provides excellent cross shore (port tack) wave sai
ling in South and South South East winds.
At it's best when the wind has been blowing for several days and thereby producing a good swell, the waves have by account reached mast high. More typically 3-5 ft waves can be enjoyed.
There is a fairly strong rip flowing toward the Menai Straits to the north, which can be felt inshore.
On the outside there is fairly large chop which focuses the mind when gybing.
Less crowded than Rhosneigr, Dinas provides excellent sailing conditions, however, given that Rhosneigr favours a little West in wind direction the two venues do offer cross shore sailing at different times
Facilities : There is a public toilet and a couple of 'seaside' type shops.
Directions : From Caernarfon head south on the A499. Take the turnoff for the the Airport and continue along the country lane until you reach the coast, where the road turns sharply right. It is here that the shops and WC are situated.
Continue along the coast (there is parking available on the left) until the road veers to the right - continue for a couple of hundred meters and then take a left and double back on yourself onto the car park.

However, beware of the mean high tide shorebreak!
If you have a plane theres a private airfield just down the road.
