Hurghada

Hurghada lagoon is a shallow, enclosed water body on Egypt's Red Sea coast facing west toward the land. The satellite imagery reveals an extensive shallow lagoon system with visible reef formations and sandbars creating distinct turquoise-colored shallows. This is a protected lagoon environment rather than open ocean exposure. The spot receives consistent wind patterns suitable for kitesurfing during favorable seasons, though wind reliability is moderate at 46.9%. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. Average wave heights of 0.59m indicate choppy flat-water conditions rather than swell-driven waves, making this ideal for freestyle and progression-focused riding. The shallow, confined nature suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions away from open ocean swell and powerful currents. Water temperatures averaging 25.8°C are comfortable year-round. Key considerations include watching for shallow areas, reef hazards, and boat traffic typical of busy resort areas. Wind direction and timing are critical given moderate reliability.
