Ras Al Hadd is a surf spot located on the east coast of Oman, known for being part of a green turtle nesting site. This area, often referred to as the Pirate Coast, is exposed to monsoon swells coming from the south-southwest. The stretch of sandy beach offers a laid-back vibe that attracts surfers looking for a relaxing session.

The surf here picks up the optimal swell direction from the southeast but can also handle swells coming from the southwest. It's pretty versatile when it comes to wave size, being able to work well with swells as small as 1 foot (around 0.3 meters). The waves are predominantly beach breaks, creating left and right-hand waves, which is great for all skill levels, especially beginners. The best time to hit the surf is during low, mid, or high tide, with southwest winds providing the most favorable conditions.

Besides surfing, Ras Al Hadd is also a cool spot for those interested in nature, with the nearby turtle nesting sites offering a unique experience. Don't forget to check out the local vibe and enjoy the simple beauty of the area when you take a break from surfing.
