Baratti - Il Dado is a surf spot located in the wide gulf of Baratti, just north of Piombino. This area is known for its beautiful views and variety of surfing options. The spot is a bit of a hidden gem, offering some less crowded waves compared to other spots in the region. It's a nice spot to enjoy a day of surfing without too many people around.

At Il Dado, you can expect powerful left waves breaking over uneven reef, with a mix of sand and rock on the bottom. The spot works best with southwest swells (optimal direction), though it can also handle northwest swells. It tends to accommodate swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and can hold up well in low, mid, and high tides. The best winds for this spot come from the northeast. This place is most suited for intermediate surfers, so if you're at that level, you should find it enjoyable.

Another nearby option is La Scivola, which offers a quality right pointbreak over sharp rocks on the north side of the bay. It's been kept a bit of a secret, so it’s worth checking out when you're in the area. Overall, Baratti has a lot to offer for surfers looking for variety and less crowded waves.
