About This Spot
Blue Lagoon is a shallow enclosed lagoon situated on Egypt's Red Sea coast, facing north toward the water. The lagoon is bordered by extensive resort and residential development, with organized property divisions visible in the satellite imagery. Water depths are minimal throughout, making it suitable only for beginners and those learning water starts. Wind reliability is notably low at 14.1%, with average winds of 8.9 knots—marginal for consistent kitesurfing sessions. The choppy water conditions result from the confined nature and shallow depths rather than significant wave development. Side-shore winds from the east provide the safest platform for launching and riding. The spot is heavily developed with infrastructure, requiring awareness of property lines and potential crowds. Best conditions occur during consistent wind periods, though these are infrequent. This location suits beginners seeking flat-water practice in a protected environment, though wind availability remains a significant limitation. Riders should verify local access permissions due to extensive private development.
