Yasmin Village / Tommy Friedl

Yasmin Village is a resort-based lagoon spot located on Egypt's Red Sea coast facing east toward the water. The site consists of protected lagoon areas with multiple breakwaters and artificial structures creating defined wind corridors. Water conditions are characteristically choppy due to short, confined fetch and shallow depths. The lagoon system offers natural protection from open ocean swells, resulting in minimal wave activity (0.57m average). This is primarily a flat-water spot suitable for learners and intermediate riders seeking controlled conditions. Wind reliability is modest at 41.1%, with average speeds around 11.2 knots. Side-shore winds from the north or south provide optimal conditions; northerly winds are preferable when available. The spot requires awareness of resort infrastructure, including boat traffic, swimmers, and shallow areas near structures. Kiters should confirm local access policies, water depth in chosen zones, and any restrictions from resort management. Best suited for beginners practicing fundamentals in sheltered conditions rather than progression-focused sessions.
