Jetties is a surf spot located about 15 kilometers (9 miles) west of Ash Shir, near a village that features large circular oil storage tanks. The area has three jetties that can provide some decent shelter from big waves and stormy conditions. However, access to these spots is heavily restricted, and the area is monitored by military personnel, making it off-limits to surfers.
This spot generally works well for those looking for manageable waves, especially when the swell comes from the southwest. It can handle swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and breaks over sand, offering both left and right wave directions. The best time to surf here is during low to mid tide or high tide, with northwesterly winds creating the best conditions. This makes it a good option for beginners wanting to get some practice in fairly sheltered waters.
While the surf can be decent, it’s important to remember that the area is heavily patrolled and surfing there is not allowed. So if you're planning to go, it's best to look for alternative spots nearby that offer similar conditions without the restrictions.
