Fishermen's Bay (Jaalan Bani Bu Ali)

Fishermen's Bay (Jaalan Bani Bu Ali) is a big sandy, clean-water beach where summer monsoon/thermal winds drive consistent conditions for wind sports. Multiple sources describe the wind as starting offshore in the morning and shifting toward a southerly sideshore setup by midday/afternoon, so the same session can change character as the day progresses. For kitesurfing, the core season is May through September, with many riders targeting the strongest period in midsummer. Expect roughly 20–35 knots most days, with some summer days gustier (down into about the mid-teens to ~30 knots range). Wave conditions are described as medium-wave and workable for freeride and wave riding; big-air is also noted as an available style when the wind is at its strongest. Surfing is possible but highly timing-dependent. One description highlights better mornings when the wind is more offshore, helping clean up access to rideable waves on the far side of the bay; later in the day, sideshore/cross-shore winds can make the waves messier. Wave heights are reported around the 1.5–2.5 m range typically, with larger waves possible in peak season, and the break is consistently described as a beach-break with peeling waves. Safety-wise, this is a working fishing beach. Hazards include stones and marine life/animals, and—most importantly—fishing boats, nets, and occasional rocks near shore. Plan your launch/riding lanes to avoid active fishing areas, and be ready for limited formal rescue coverage in the remote stretch of coast.
