wind for kitesurfing is
wind coming
from
S and SSW
.
There is
Thermal wind
at Fishermens Bay, Oman.
The wind is a thermal wind that is generated by the difference for the cold current coming from Antarctica and the hot land. Which means very regular wind as long as the land is hot so cooler weather and clouds are a bad thing. You can expect about 20-35 knots most days and some days stronger. The wind starts in the morning being offshore but switches to sideshore (more southerly) and picks up significantly by mid day. If the wind doesn't switch enough it can be gusty but manageable. In the morning it tends to be off shore and it is possible to surf on the other side of the bay where the wind is a bit more on shore. Summer is the windy season. In the summer it can be very gusty with a range of 15-30 knots.
Wind
usually
blows
from S, SSW and SW
on the spot.
The
best moments to come
to Fishermens Bay, Oman are
