Ras Jazirat

Ras Jazirat is a protected bay on Oman's eastern coast facing northwest into the Arabian Sea. The spot features a shallow lagoon system with sandy bottom and multiple rocky formations. The northern and central areas show deeper water suitable for kitesurfing, while southern sections contain extensive sandbanks. The bay's protected nature makes it ideal for beginners and intermediate riders seeking consistent conditions with reduced hazards. Wind reliability is moderate at 33.3%, with average winds of 10.2 knots requiring patience for optimal sessions. The northeast to east wind direction (45-90°) provides ideal side-shore conditions along this coastline. Water temperatures average 26.8°C year-round, making it comfortable for extended sessions. Riders should be aware of shallow areas, variable tidal conditions affecting water depth and current strength, and the presence of rocky outcrops requiring careful navigation. The light swell averaging 1.06m means this spot prioritizes wind-powered riding over wave work.
