Timeline

Ghazala Bay Surf Forecast Guide

Overview

Ghazala Bay is a beginner-friendly beach break that peels both left and right over a mix of uneven reef and sand. Deep water sits just offshore, so it can pack some punch, but its easterly aspect means it needs a large swell to really wake up.

When It Works

The bay draws swell from west through north, with a north swell the best match. It works from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.2 m / 4 ft, though the easterly angle means you'll want plenty of size pushing through before it comes to life.

Wind and Tide

Look for a south offshore wind to smooth out the faces. The break can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

This is a forgiving, easygoing wave that suits beginners looking to build confidence in the water.
