Plage de es Chaffar

Plage de es Chaffar is a northeast-facing beach break located along Tunisia's eastern coast near the Gulf of Hammamet. The spot features a sandy beach with moderate development inland and natural vegetation covering the immediate coastal hinterland. Water conditions are typically choppy with minimal wave development, indicating limited offshore fetch. The shallow water near the shore provides a contained practice area suitable for beginners. However, the spot suffers from extremely low wind reliability at only 10%, making consistent sessions difficult to predict. Average wind speeds of 7.8 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) would provide the safest riding angles. The shallow, choppy conditions make this spot most suitable for beginners or light-wind progression, though wind scarcity remains the primary limiting factor. Dense vegetation and trees near the shore may create turbulent wind patterns. Access appears accessible via the residential areas, though development may impose restrictions. Best visited during higher wind season months for any reliable activity.
