About This Spot
Camp Wadi Lahami is a protected lagoon on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, facing east toward the water with a shallow, enclosed basin. The spot is distinguished by its resort facilities visible along the northern shore and relatively protected conditions. The lagoon format provides flat to choppy water with minimal wave development, making it suitable for freestyle and light wind practice rather than wave riding. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that flow parallel to the coastline as side-shore flow. The extremely low wind reliability (31.3%) and modest average wind speed (10.3 knots) mean sessions are infrequent and light. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water conditions without significant swell exposure. The shallow lagoon reduces hazard severity from wipeouts but creates navigation challenges around shallow areas. Resort infrastructure suggests potential boat and personnel activity. Water temperatures average 26.9°C, allowing year-round riding with minimal protection. Riders should verify current wind conditions before committing time, as average conditions underperform for consistent kitesurfing.
