Long-term monthly averages: air from NASA POWER (2001–2020), sea from NOAA OISST (1991–2020); records are the extremes of 2001–2020. How the index works.
When to go
The beach-day index peaks in March–April and November–December; November scores 9.6/10 with highs of 30 °C, sea at 28.3 °C and 8 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in United Arab Emirates in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 27.9 °C, warmer than 90% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (23 mm) and May the driest (1 mm); the yearly total is about 90 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.6 hours in December to 13.7 hours in June; in mid-November the sun rises at 06:35 and sets at 17:31 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north-west (306°). Open water fills about 56% of the horizon close by, which makes it an exposed spot with water on most sides.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 19:09 local time on a bearing of 296°.
Straight out to the north-west about 800 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 1 km² (an islet).
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 11 m deep and 12 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 0 m above sea level 500 m inland and 0 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 63% bare ground, sand or rock and 36% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 70% of that circle.
- Bare 63%
- Built 36%

Average daytime highs reach 40 °C in July.
OpenStreetMap shows no lifeguard station within 1 km. Seasonal lifeguard posts are often unmapped, so check on site.
