Exposed to open sea with waves and stronger conditions
Sataya is located on Egypt's Red Sea coast, facing north toward the open ocean with a slightly northeast orientation. The spot features typical Red Sea conditions with choppy water and modest wave heights averaging 0.61 meters. Wind reliability is moderate at 61.8%, with average winds of 13.4 knots providing workable conditions though not consistently strong. The best wind direction is easterly (approximately 85°), which provides side-shore conditions parallel to the north-facing coastline. Water temperature averages 26.5°C, comfortable for extended sessions. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and choppy water states. The area requires awareness of potential reef hazards and Red Sea currents. Timing sessions during more reliable wind periods is recommended, as consistency can be inconsistent. The modest average wave height makes this better suited for flat-water freestyle progression or beginners rather than wave riding development.
