Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Rmeileh is a sandy beach break located on Lebanon's Mediterranean coastline, facing northwest toward open water. The shore is bordered by agricultural greenhouse operations inland and a major highway running parallel to the coast. The spot sits in a shallow bay with consistent sandy bottom, making it accessible for beginners. Wind reliability is notably poor at 2.3%, making consistent sessions difficult to predict. Average wave heights of 0.72m are suitable for learning but limiting for progression. Water temperatures around 21.5°C are mild year-round. The nearby highway creates visual and acoustic intrusion. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore conditions. This spot suits absolute beginners and those seeking flat-water practice, though the combination of weak wind reliability and small wave heights means this location offers limited appeal for developing skills beyond entry level. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns and tidal conditions is advisable.
