TL;DR
Summer waves in the UAE are unpredictable — the sea can be rough for a few days then calm down completely. On average, expect 2–3 wavy days out of a 9-day trip.
Based on traveler experience, during a 9-day stay in late July to early August, waves were only present on 2 days. The sea is generally calm, though conditions vary.
In late June, waves can be strong for several consecutive days. Locals say this is fairly common at some UAE beach spots.
In mid-June the sea can be very calm, almost flat in the morning. Water is cooler in the morning and warms up by evening. Wave activity can come and go throughout the day.
