Wind

Heads up: this is a partly thermal spot: on sunny days a thermal adds to the wind, so it's usually stronger than the averages below show. The windy days include part of our modelled thermal days, as some of them turn a light day into a windy one or even bring sufficient wind. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal.

Nomad Kite Safari Tour in Oman for Advanced Kitesurfers

Sur Masirah • Oman flag Oman 
9 Days • Available Jun • by Kite Away

Pristine, natural, and windy – this is Oman! It is absolutely diverse and welcoming. The country is also one of the best kitesurfing places in the world worth visiting in summer. And most importantly – where you will be going, the temperature is only 25 to 28 degrees Celsius due to the monsoon climate. KiteAway
