About This Spot
Mosque is a coastal beach break located on Oman's eastern shoreline facing west toward the Arabian Sea. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with shallow water conditions extending well offshore. The landscape is arid and sparsely developed with minimal vegetation. The primary challenge at this location is the extremely low wind reliability at 17%, making consistent kitesurfing sessions infrequent. Average wind speeds of 8.4 knots are marginal for most kitesurfing disciplines, particularly in the shallow-water environment. Average wave heights of 1.17m are modest, suitable only for learners or flat-water practice. Best wind direction is from the north, providing side-shore conditions perpendicular to the westward-facing coastline. The spot suits beginners seeking flat-water conditions in a remote setting, though wind availability is a significant limiting factor. Water temperature averages 27.4°C, providing comfortable conditions year-round. Kiters should confirm wind forecasts before traveling, as the low reliability means many days may be unsuitable. Shallow water requires careful equipment management and awareness of potential underwater obstacles.
