Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Baby Bay is a protected bay located on Egypt's Red Sea coast, facing north into the Gulf of Suez. The spot consists of a shallow lagoon system with multiple rocky formations and what appears to be resort infrastructure. The bay offers relatively protected conditions due to its enclosed nature, with visible sandbars and shallow flats that limit wave development but reduce chop in moderate winds. Wind reliability is low at 10.4%, suggesting seasonal variation typical of Red Sea locations. The small average wave height of 0.63m confirms this is not a wave-riding destination. Side-shore winds from the east (90°) would be optimal for side-shore kiters, though westerly winds (270°) also work depending on bay entrance geometry. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water conditions for progression, though variable wind and low wind reliability make consistent sessions unlikely. Water temperature averaging 26.4°C is comfortable year-round. Key considerations include shallow-water launches, numerous obstacles requiring careful navigation, and limited space for extended downwind runs.
