Gazebo Point

Gazebo Point is a shallow bay located on Oman's northeastern coast, characterized by a protected lagoon system separated from open ocean by natural barriers. The coastline runs roughly northwest-southeast with the water body facing northeast. The spot features extensive tidal flats and shallow lagoon areas visible in lighter sandy tones, with darker channels indicating deeper water. Rocky formations and vegetated areas line the inner shore, creating a complex bathymetry typical of Arabian Gulf bays. This location offers protected conditions suitable for beginner to intermediate kiters due to shallow water depths and enclosed fetch. Northeast winds (45° true) provide optimal side-shore conditions. Average winds of 10.2 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, and the 33.3% reliability suggests sessions are inconsistent. Choppy water conditions result from limited fetch and tidal influences. The shallow lagoon provides safety benefits but requires awareness of sandbars and tidal variations. Small wave heights (0.53m average) limit wave-riding opportunities. Water temperature around 27.4°C is comfortable year-round. Kiters should verify tidal schedules and local access conditions before visiting.
