Haqal

Haqal is a beach break located on Oman's eastern coast facing due east toward the Arabian Sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by desert terrain with a wadi system feeding into the water. The visible green channel indicates freshwater influence and potential current formation at the river mouth. Wave conditions are modest (0.79m average), making this suitable for beginners to early intermediates. Wind reliability at 35.2% is moderate, with average winds of 10.4 knots suggesting consistent but light conditions. North to northeast winds provide ideal side-shore alignment parallel to the beach. The rocky outcrops visible along the lower shoreline and shallow nearshore zone require careful navigation. Water temperature around 26.8°C is comfortable year-round. Best conditions occur during northern wind patterns. This spot suits kiters seeking sheltered, mellow conditions with minimal wave power, though wind consistency can be inconsistent seasonally.
