Mövenpick

Mövenpick is located in a large lagoon system on Egypt's Red Sea coast, west of a barrier reef. The sheltered lagoon environment is created by extensive residential developments that frame multiple interconnected water bodies. The western coastline faces the lagoon waters, making north and south the optimal side-shore wind directions. This is a protected lagoon spot suitable primarily for beginners due to shallow, choppy water conditions and the absence of significant wave development. Wind reliability is notably low at 37%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. The main appeal is accessibility in protected waters with minimal swell exposure. Kiters should be aware of confined space between residential areas, potential mooring hazards, and the prevalence of choppy rather than smooth water. The 0.47m average wave height confirms this is a flat-water destination. Best conditions occur during northerly or southerly wind patterns when side-shore alignment is achieved. The spot requires careful navigation around infrastructure and is not suitable for freestyle or wave riding. Water temperatures averaging 25.8°C are comfortable year-round, making this suitable for casual lagoon sessions rather than serious progression.
