About This Spot
Oberoi Beach is a developed coastal zone on the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates, facing westward toward open water. The spot features a protected beach environment adjacent to extensive residential and commercial development, with visible marina facilities and recreational infrastructure. Water conditions are typically mild with minimal swell (0.36m average) and light winds (6.3 knots average). The area shows consistent shallow-water characteristics with sandbars and a gradual seafloor slope. Wind reliability is notably low at 3.1%, with northerly winds providing optimal side-shore conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking calm, controlled conditions in protected waters. The proximity to developed areas means moderate boat traffic and potential crowding during peak hours. Water temperature averages 29.4°C, making it suitable year-round. Kiters should expect limited wind windows and plan sessions during seasonal wind patterns. The shallow gradient and sandy bottom provide relatively forgiving landing conditions for learning progression.
