One of the best places to surf in Oman is Masirah Island ,
reached only by ferry from Sana on the mainland. The ferry times depend on the tides,
but there are usually four trips each day. The ferry takes around one hour to reach
the island and it is then a drive of approximately 15 minutes to the eastern side
where the surf breaks. The size of the surf depends on the time of the year, but
4-6 feet is normal.
