Half Moon Bay
Half Moon Bay is a Persian Gulf-side kite spot on the resort coastline south of Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, distinct from the Red Sea spots that dominate the country's kite scene. It is described as flat water with steady wind, good for cruising, and appears repeatedly in Saudi kitesurf spot listings, but detailed wind-season data specific to the Gulf coast (which differs from the Red Sea monsoon pattern) was not found.
