Ras el Jebal

Ras el Jebal is a beach break located on Tunisia's northeastern coast facing northeast toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot is characterized by a sandy beach backed by extensive agricultural land and residential development. The water shows visible discoloration from agricultural runoff, indicating shallow coastal conditions and sediment mixing. The spot experiences low wind reliability at only 16% and weak average wave heights of 0.87 meters, making consistent sessions challenging. Average winds of 8.3 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. The northwesterly wind direction suggests northwest winds would provide side-shore conditions. This spot suits beginner kiters seeking flat-water conditions rather than wave riding, though wind frequency is a significant limitation. The shallow, murky water indicates caution should be exercised regarding visibility and bottom contact. The proximity of agricultural and residential areas suggests the water may carry contaminants. Best conditions would require stronger-than-average wind events coinciding with lower tides.
