About dukhan beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (258°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (78°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.9 km out (1 in 185). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 34°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Dukhān.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
