Is it warm enough to swim in Fujairah during winter, and are jellyfish common?

In early October, the sea became cooler and clearer. After a single jellyfish encounter, it was possible to swim for about two hours the following day without seeing any, so conditions can change quickly.

Winter is usually milder in Fujairah than in the other emirates. The ocean was around 23°C last year; a wetsuit was useful for a child who feels the cold easily.

Fujairah does not have a fixed season of strong winds: windy conditions can occur at any time. Jellyfish do not follow a set schedule either; their presence depends on suitable water temperatures, which vary from year to year.
