About Oasis Beach

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces W (290°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (110°). It is exposed 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 68). 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 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Batroun, 4.6 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 24°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).
