Al Ashkharah's wave break, 12 km north of Aseelah, is strictly advanced terrain — beach break, downwind reefs, and a strong south thermal that runs May to September.
Masirah's Sur lagoon and Ras Al Hadd Lagoon pull the region's beginners instead, both shallow and flat, though Ras Al Hadd only floods properly at medium to high tide. Three spots, two very different kinds of water.
