About Duqm Rocks
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (89°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (269°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 69). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 23°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Urf, 131 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Sur, 383 km. Nearest airport: Duqm International Airport (DQM), 11 km.
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).
