Safaga Windsurfing Holiday in Egypt

Trip Highlights

Safaga is located about 50 kilometres south of Hurghada (airport) right on the Red Sea. When you travel down the coastal road, you will find yourself in the middle of a desert landscape. Safaga itself is a typical small Egyptian township. Several hotels lie outside the town centre on the beautiful natural seashore. Spacious sandy beaches extend around the deep-sea port of Safaga, and one of our largest and best equipped Club Mistral centres is located right on one of the most beautiful and widest of them. The Spot:- At the main spot of Safaga the wind blows side-offshore from the left in the morning and then turns to sideshore in the afternoon. From slalom, to freeride, to swell – variety is the name of the game here. Tobias Island About 3.5 km away, Tobias Island awaits your visit – a small sandy cay surrounded by turquoise water. Joining one of our famous surfing outings to this destination alone makes a vacation in Safaga worthwhile. Soma Bay Those of you who are kitesurfers can also join an excursion four times a week. Our boat takes you to nearby Soma Bay, guaranteeing a marvellous kitesurfing experience!!

Itinerary

The Wind:-
As with most of the resort we feature in Egypt, the wind is very reliable year around, but is at its best in the summer months between May an September.

That said, Safaga is also an excellent winter destination, as the climate is not as fiercely hot, but the wind still blows a steady bft 4-5 most of the time.

The Windsurfing:-
There is no doubt about the fact that Safaga is probably the best spot for beginners: a wind-protected shallow area permits instruction even on windy days. Kitesurfers, too, have their own section, with touch-the-bottom water and plenty of space.
