The water is clear. Crescent shape bay with the waves coming from the right. Good for wave riding with waves about 1-2m. There are strong currents to the North. Some Dhows (traditional boats) anchored offshore. Pay attention: tons of Tigersharks during turtle season. Sandy beach with just you and the local fishermen. Pretty little place. Nice sand beach with shells, about 3 or 4 km long. Rocks on either end. Easy to launch side to side off. The wind is a thermal wind that is generated by the difference for the cold current coming from Antarctica and the hot land. Which means very regular wind as long as the land is hot so cooler weather and clouds are a bad thing. You can expect about 20-35 knots most days and some days stronger. The wind starts in the morning being offshore but switches to sideshore (more southerly) and picks up significantly by mid day. If the wind doesn't switch enough it can be gusty but manageable. In the morning it tends to be off shore and it is possible to surf on the other side of the bay where the wind is a bit more on shore. Summer is the windy season. In the summer it can be very gusty with a range of 15-30 knots. Summer can be hot if there is no wind but most of the summer it is quite windy and cool (for Oman) around 24-28°C. Water temp is coolish but don't need anything more then a shorty. It is always 23-45°C depending on whether it is winter or summer and rain is virtually unheard of. Water: Chop, Mediumwave. Features: Rooms, School, Rental. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
