About this spot

Hurghada – Seahorse Bay is a kitesurf spot in Egypt. Bay between Hurghada and El Gouna, about 15–20 minutes from the airport. Large, shallow bay with a huge standing-depth area and a mostly sandy bottom. The spot is tide-dependent; the size and usable area change with the water level. Steady north wind; the station limits the number of kiters on the water. Good for beginners, improvers and freestylers.

The spot works best with wind from N, NW; the windiest period is Mar–Nov. The water is mostly flat. It suits beginners and intermediates.
