Windsurfing Holiday to Soma Bay
Where is Soma Bay? If you are a windsurfer and you have been to Egypt, then you will probably have heard of Safaga, and Soma Bay is just 10 minutes drive north of there. Personally we find the industrial skyline of Safaga a little offensive on the eye so it was with great delight that we heard of the newly constructed Intercontinental Abu Soma Resort, where you can enjoy the same wind with clear uninterrupted views of the Red Sea.

THE WINDSURFING
A long sandbank with water smooth as glass means you do not have to concentrate on anything else except your manoeuvres; the ideal conditions for perfecting your power-gybe or freestyle moves.
THE WIND
There is wind throughout the year, with some of the best in the summer. However, as Soma Bay also enjoys at least 1 Beaufort more than Hurghada further up the coast, it is a popular spot throughout the year.
In the summer months, from May to October, the average wind is around 22 knots with the afternoons sometimes getting up to 25 / 30(especially in September)! In the winter it is mostly big kite weather (14 - 16's). |
