Al Ashkharah surf guide

Al Ashkharah is a surf spot located in the northeastern region, popular among local surfers in Dubai. It's a relatively accessible location, and many surfers make their way here for a session when the conditions are favorable. While not the most renowned surf destination, it offers a nice mix of waves for varying skill levels, making it a decent choice for both beginners and more experienced surfers.

At Al Ashkharah, most of the surf action happens at Shipwreck Beach. The reefs extend quite a distance offshore, which results in long, mellow righthanders breaking 100-200m (300-600ft) off the beach at low tide. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (around 0.3m), and it works well with southeast and southwest swells. With the right wind blowing from the west, you're more likely to catch some clean waves. High tide can bring in some shoredumps, but the best conditions are usually found at low and mid tides.

For those looking to explore further, there are some additional righthand points to the south, leading down to the protected low tide spot at Bandar As Saqlah. This area can offer some variety if you’re looking for different types of waves. Overall, it's a casual spot where you can enjoy a nice day of surfing, though conditions might not always be epic.
