Al-Ashkarah

Al-Ashkarah is a beach break located on the southeastern coast of Oman facing south into the Arabian Sea. The spot features a narrow sandy beach with sparse vegetation and scattered buildings set back from the shore. The coastline is relatively straight with a moderate beach face and visible rock formations in the shallow water zone. Water conditions show consistent light swell with white-capped waves throughout the year. The spot receives prevailing winds from the northeast and east, making east and southeast winds ideal for side-shore conditions. Average wind reliability is low at 15.5%, indicating this is a seasonal or inconsistent spot. Water temperatures average 28.6°C, suitable for year-round sessions with minimal protection. The narrow beach and shallow nearshore zone make this spot most suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking sheltered conditions. Caution is advised regarding submerged rocks and the irregular shallow water topography. Local knowledge of tidal conditions and current patterns is recommended before sessions.
