Mughsail Beach
Mughsail Beach represents frontier surfing on the Arabian Peninsula—a dramatic stretch of Omani coastline where the annual Khareef monsoon pushes southwest swells through the Arabian Sea. During these months (June-September), this typically calm desert coast transforms, with mist rolling in and temperatures dropping to create an almost surreal atmosphere. The famous blowholes nearby add to the otherworldly feel. Surf infrastructure is minimal, but for adventurous travelers seeking waves where almost no one has looked, Salalah's monsoon season offers genuine discovery.
