Why Riders Love It
Generally we have good winds in the spring, summer and fall. In the winter the wind is highly unpredictable. Average wind is 12-15 knots, but very steady. A NE wind is the best, whereas a NW lacks punch. Athaibah Beach is right in Muscat and can have wind when other areas don't. Very localized weather.
When to Go
You can surf all year here and the wetsuit is optional. If you wear one, bring a lightweight shorty. Most surf in a rash guard and shorts. Air temperatures ranges from 23-45°C and water is generally 23+°C. Rain is very rare.
What to Expect
Clear water. It is shallow for about 500m out and then it gets deeper. There is a great tide difference. The water is choppy but because it is so long shallow it gives us some nice waves, ramps etc.
