Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Fishermen's Bay is a shallow coastal bay on Oman's eastern shore, characterized by protected waters sheltered by a curved coastline. The bay faces northwest, with sandy bottom and visible tidal flats. The spot's enclosed nature provides calmer conditions than open ocean, making it suitable for intermediate kiters seeking protected water. Wind reliability is modest at 24.2%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) or southwest (225°) work best for this orientation. Average wave heights of 1.06m indicate minimal swell energy, making this a flatwater-dominant location. The shallow bay with visible sandy bars requires awareness of depth limitations and potential ground contact. Limited fetch restricts wave development. Water temperature around 27°C is comfortable for year-round riding. This spot suits kiters practicing technique or seeking lighter wind sessions; stronger riders may find conditions underwhelming. Local fishing activity suggests occasional boat traffic requiring situational awareness.
