About This Spot
Radisson Hotel Lagoon is a shallow lagoon system located on Tunisia's northeastern coast, approximately 35km southeast of Tunis. The spot is characterized by enclosed turquoise waters protected by a natural sandbar formation, creating a lagoon environment rather than open ocean exposure. The lagoon orientation runs northeast-southwest with the beach break facing northeast. This is primarily a beginner-friendly location due to shallow, protected waters and minimal wave development. Wind conditions are critical here—the low 8-knot average and 11% reliability suggest seasonal variability. Northwestern winds (315°) would provide optimal side-shore conditions parallel to the lagoon's main axis. The spot suits beginners and light-wind specialists seeking shallow-water practice in protected conditions. Key considerations include navigating around submerged vegetation beds, understanding lagoon current patterns, respecting resort property boundaries, and checking tide conditions as they significantly affect usable water depth. This location is best suited for flat-water technique development rather than wave riding.
