About Bandar al Saqlah
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (117°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (297°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 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 24°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 28°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Saqla Resort, جنوب الشرقية, 1 km. Nearest beds: Sur, 119 km.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
