Drive north from Al-Ashkara town 20 kilometers, look for fishermans' house at end of dirt road visible on right after small rock outcrop. 4 WD a must to access entire coast.
Strong paddling ability a must due to rip, currents. 4 WD recommended to explore length of coast - several alternate spots
Overview
Atmosphere
Melow fisherman's cove, classic point break - best in late Spring, Summer, Fall during "Khareef" period - day break sessions best at medium to med-low tides - wind really kicks after 10 or 11 AM. Evening sessions also typical.
General
can be great - can also strike out. Pay attention to multiple forecasts and tides (.mil sites good). Long boards or fun boards work well on small swell days so bring one.
