Tripoli East Beach

Tripoli East Beach is a straight sandy beach on Libya's Mediterranean coast, oriented north-south with water facing north. The spot features a developed coastline with industrial and commercial infrastructure, including port facilities and warehouses visible in the satellite imagery. Water conditions are characterized by light swell and small average wave heights of 0.79m. The beach is relatively sheltered with minimal fetch, resulting in light wind conditions and very low wind reliability at 9.3%. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°) providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Average wind speeds of 7.2 knots are marginal for most kitesurfing. This spot suits beginners seeking flat-water conditions in a sheltered environment, though consistent wind is unreliable. The proximity to port infrastructure and industrial facilities means kiters should verify local permissions and be aware of potential boat traffic. Water temperature around 22°C is comfortable year-round. Visit during rare strong easterly wind windows for best results.
