You may not be able to drive along the beach so it will mean a 10 minute walk along the beach to the breakwater. If it's summer beware the high temperatures ! Bring plenty of water to drink ! There isn't much current. Waves are pretty fast but enjoyable. Watch for cyclone weather off India...this will guarantee waves at this spot.
Atmosphere
The spot has not been surfed ever...the closest we got was bodysurfing because no-one had boards !
General
If the swell gets really big, this spot will definitely go off !

Flat in FEB 2005 - In the area for work during first week in FEB 05. Directions are good easy to find only 10 min walk up beach. Wrong time of year for swell and it showed 1/2 Ft.Possible potential with swell as there is a small creek/drain running in next to the break wall which may supply sand for a bank? It would only be a short ride though! But better than Dubai.
