Midday on Friday and the Waters Swell in Fujairah

Cyclone Phet is still focused in Oman and while the weather forecasters are not predicting that the UAE will be greatly affected, a 50 person Rescue Team is stationed on the east coast and is on the alert.

At midday on Friday 4 June 2010 the winds are gusty, the tide is high, the waves are choppy and rising to a couple of feet.

Waves are seen in the distance crashing against the marina’s breakwater.

Surfers get out of their cars to survey the waves. Disappointed looks and the decision is obvious—insufficiently formed and sustained waves to bother getting the boards off the roof rack. Maybe come back later?
