Seahorse Bay

Seahorse Bay is a sheltered bay on Egypt's western Red Sea coast, characterized by extensive industrial port facilities and numerous moored vessels. The coastline faces westward into the bay, with shallow turquoise waters indicating restricted depth in nearshore areas. This is an active commercial shipping zone with significant boat traffic and anchored vessels throughout the bay. The spot offers protection from open ocean swells due to its enclosed geography, resulting in minimal wave conditions (0.47m average). Wind reliability is modest at 39.4%, with average winds of 10.9 knots. Side-shore winds from the north (0°) would provide the safest conditions parallel to the western-facing shore. This location suits beginners due to flat water and sheltered conditions, but the confined space, heavy vessel traffic, and industrial infrastructure create operational constraints. Kiters must navigate around moored boats and maintain awareness of maritime activity. The low average wind speed and inconsistent wind reliability suggest this is a fair-weather spot best suited for light-wind sessions. Coordination with port authorities may be necessary before launching.
