Salalah Beach

Salalah Beach is located on Oman's southern coast facing westward into the Arabian Sea. This is a beach break characterized by sandy bottom and gentle shore break conditions. The spot experiences light swell with an average wave height of only 1.13 meters, making it suitable primarily for progression and skill development rather than challenging sessions. Wind reliability is critically low at 2.8%, meaning consistent rideable conditions occur infrequently. When conditions do align, northerly winds provide side-shore conditions. Water temperatures average 27.7°C, offering warm riding conditions. The shallow nearshore waters limit wave development but reduce hazard severity for less experienced riders. This spot is best suited for beginners learning fundamental kitesurfing skills, particularly during monsoon season when wind patterns strengthen. Kiters should plan visits during seasonal wind windows rather than expecting consistent daily conditions. The beach environment offers relatively benign conditions with minimal reef or rock hazards, though the low energy nature of the spot means progression may plateau without seeking alternative locations during peak season.
