Surf-default-break-image
Name: Ras Al Ya
Type: point
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: SSE Offshore Wind: WNW

Ras Al Ya in - is a fairly exposed point break that has reasonably consistent surf. Summer offers the optimum conditions for surfing. Works best in offshore winds from the west northwest. Waves more likely to be from local windswells than distant groundswells and the ideal wave angle is from the south southeast. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Take care of rocks and jellyfish.
