the only bad thing about it is that you have to surf it prone or drop knee, if you stand the life guards get pissed off.also it is crowed at weekends. im not to sure about the weekdays. i said it was a sandy bottom but thats because plastic was not an option.
Most waves break left, but almost always close out. It's a fun, short ride, that's worth it on a good day. Watch out, as you are not allowed to park your car on the beach, and you can get into some serious trouble with the police.
waves are generally best early morning 5 to 9 am but the sometime hold for the whole day and get sloppy at about 3 pm
The best board for this place is the Long Board... I've seen some guys on short boards, but the waves have to be sizeable... on a long board you are guaranteed much more fun :)I was told by some people living here longer than I that the water was really cold... upon inspection and by checking out this website http://www.navo.navy.mil/LIBRARY/Metoc/Middle+East/Arabian+Gulf/MCSST/K10/K10+Composite/index.html i found out that its about 26 degrees right now and bearing in mind that in my home city of sydney the maximum water temp in summer is about 22-23 degrees... basically I laughed at them so remember you do NOT need a wetsuit - unless you're a pussy or something.
The public beaches around Jumeirah are easy to access and normally there is plenty of parking. U will rarely find a crowded on the beach although on some weekends and public holidays it can become quite hard to park. But don't fret coz Dubai is mostly sand anyways so park on a dirt track on the side of the road. If ur from outside the UAE then I suggest u either take a taxi or the bus (if u wanna brave it). Taxix's are cheaper here than most places in the world, but the bus service isn't extremly reliable.The surf during the winter season is resonably good. It's great for beginners, on good days waves can break up to 6ft. On really good days ( after a freak storm or shamal) the waves can sometimes be 10ft+. But tis rare.On a good day, the waves can get to upto 6-8ft. The wind will normally tell u if there are waves. If there is wind, there will probably be waves. Also the longer the wind has been blowing (ie a week) the bigger the waves.
This is definatly a purely longboarding spot, long rides but the surf can be small, if you want a bigger but shorter and generally messier wave go to jumirah beach! Realitivly Unexplored coastline, waves often seen but rarely surfed. This is near the new jebal ali palm, so watch for big ships. Dredging is taking place for the palm to be built, so new sandbanks can form around this beach, so have a look around before you surf, you could find a new bank thats short lived and only surfed once, by you!
The spot is actually called d.o.s.c. dubai offshore sailing club. the actual beach is to the right of d.o.s.c
six-foot high hip made from rubber and foam, with seven tonnes of water being shot out in a thin sheet, producing a realistic wave-effect ideal for bodyboarding, kneeboarding or surfing. Check out the Wild Wadi Water Park website for videos - www.wildwadi.com
