BBC surf guide

BBC is located on Masirah Island, Oman, which is accessible by ferry from Sana. This island is the largest in Oman, stretching about 65km (41mi) and has a mix of history and nature. It has some unique spots where you can catch waves. The area around the BBC telecom towers is known for its surf, especially when there's a good swell coming in. Just remember, you'll need to get permission from the Jazirah military to access this spot.

The surf at BBC typically works best with swells coming from the south, as well as southeast and southwest. It handles swell sizes starting at about 2ft (0.6m), making it suitable for different skill levels, especially beginners. The waves break over uneven reef, and you can expect mostly right-point waves. For the best experience, you'll want to surf when the wind is coming from the southwest, and it works well during low, mid, and high tides.

The overall vibe at BBC can be pretty laid-back, which is nice for surfers looking to enjoy a chill session. If you're new to the area, just be sure to check local conditions and respect the area as you enjoy the waves.
