Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Protected shallow water, typically flat and ideal for learning or freestyle
This is a protected lagoon on Egypt's Red Sea coast, characterized by shallow turquoise waters bordered by extensive residential development. The lagoon faces west toward the shore, with a narrow opening to deeper water. The spot appears to be a managed resort or residential community with marina facilities visible on the western shore. Water conditions are typically choppy due to limited fetch and shallow depth. The 49% wind reliability and modest 12.2-knot average wind speed indicate this is not a high-wind destination. The lagoon setting provides protection from larger swells but limits wave development. Best winds come from the north, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the eastern coast. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking flat-water conditions with minimal swell. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, boat traffic near marina zones, and residential boundaries. Wind consistency is a significant limitation; this spot is best visited during seasonal wind patterns rather than as a reliable year-round destination.
