Mughsayl Beach

Salalah, Oman

🌀Strong rips🏝️Remote

Mughsayl Beach is the Middle East's most consistent surf destination—a beach break in Oman's Dhofar region that transforms during the Khareef monsoon season (June-September). While the rest of Arabia bakes in summer heat, Salalah enjoys cool, misty conditions as SW monsoon swells march up from the Indian Ocean. The coastline turns green, and surf arrives with remarkable consistency. It's like surfing in Ireland, but in the Arabian Peninsula. Completely unique.
