About This Spot
Blue Lagoon is a sheltered lagoon on Egypt's Red Sea coast, characterized by warm, shallow waters protected by natural sand barriers and surrounding development. The lagoon faces westward with water to the west, making northerly or southerly winds ideal for side-shore conditions. The spot offers protected, choppy water conditions suitable for beginners learning flat-water techniques. The shallow lagoon environment minimizes wave hazards but introduces concerns about depth consistency and underwater obstacles. The narrow inlet connecting to open sea creates potential current issues during tidal exchanges. Development around the lagoon indicates moderate boat traffic in proximity. Wind reliability is notably low at 3.4%, suggesting this location experiences inconsistent wind patterns typical of the Red Sea region. Water temperatures averaging 27.4°C provide comfortable year-round conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in sheltered conditions, though waiting for consistent wind days is essential. Avoid peak tourist hours and respect the developed waterfront boundaries.
