Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Masirah Island
Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 800 m out (1 in 81). The sea is about 24°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best month is usually July, with about 6 good days in 7; in February and March, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Qaryat Umq.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
