Sandbar Point

Sandbar Point is a shallow lagoon system located on Sudan's Red Sea coast, characterized by extensive sandbars and shallow water throughout. The lagoon faces westward toward the mainland, with the open Red Sea to the east. This is a protected, enclosed water body with multiple sandbars creating complex bathymetry visible in the satellite imagery. The spot receives very light winds averaging 6.9 knots with poor reliability at only 6.2%, suggesting marginal conditions for kitesurfing most days. Water temperatures average 29.8°C with minimal wave activity at 0.48m average. The shallow nature and enclosed configuration make this a beginner-friendly location for practicing in very light wind, though consistent conditions are rarely available. Kiters should expect flat to near-flat water with limited swell penetration. The lagoon's narrow connection to open water restricts wind fetch and acceleration. This location suits only light-wind sessions; visits during stronger wind periods would be more productive. Local knowledge of tidal movements and shallow bank locations is essential.
