Surfing in Dubai is indeed special! If you’re still not aware of it, read up on the reasons why Dubai offers a great surfing experience.
Now we go to the next essential part – knowing when to surf in Dubai!
Summer may soon be over, but we are just entering the holy season for Dubai surfing!
The Surf in Dubai is seasonal from November to April with the best and most consistent swells during winter—the months of December, January, February, and March. During winter, water temperature remains between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius so you will surely get the most out of the Arabian Gulf.
Dubai receives predominately wind swells which offer choppy conditions, but when the wind drops off most of the time you get 2-4ft clean waves, and easy conditions for surfing in Dubai. While the weather is scorching and waves are flat from June to September, you can always head towards Fujairah and Oman for summer swells which can be around 3-6ft and 800 meters long (Oman).
But, if you’re itching to get on your board and can no longer wait for colder months to come, Wakesurfing and Surfskate will be your next best options.
Even though Dubai only offers seasonal swells, surfers in the city always find alternative sports to get their daily dose of adrenaline. Obviously, there’s no better sport for surfers than the activity that resembles surfing perfectly – wakesurfing and surfskate!
