Safaga

Safaga is a developed lagoon-style kitesurfing destination on Egypt's Red Sea coast, featuring a north-facing shoreline protected by natural and man-made structures. The spot comprises multiple lagoon sections separated by breakwaters and resort developments, with sheltered water conditions typical of enclosed bays. The area shows substantial resort infrastructure with multiple accommodation facilities and organized beach zones. The lagoon setup provides protected, choppy water suitable for learning and progression rather than wave riding. Prevailing winds from the southeast would deliver side-shore conditions with an easterly approach. Wind reliability of 40.8% suggests inconsistent conditions requiring flexible planning. Safaga suits beginners and early intermediates seeking protected, controlled water in a fully developed resort setting. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, occasional boat traffic, and resort activity zones. The choppy chop (0.65m average) is manageable but requires attention to technique. Water temperature averaging 26.4°C is warm year-round. Access appears straightforward through established beach areas.
