THE SAFAGA SPOT
 

 

   

The place Safaga, nearby the homonym harbor Safaga located by the Red Sea, is approximately 565 kms south from Cairo, 220 kms east from Luxor and 60 kms from Hurghada, where the airport is situated. 

The experts claim that the wind conditions at Safaga are one Beaufort stronger than at Hurghada, this is due to the fact that the thermal desert wind penetrating the mountain range nearness the sea gets extra strength and speed. 
In Safaga the wind and sea conditions vary depending on the time of the day and the season. 

Usually in the morning, from October until December, the wind blows from the land in a slanting direction reaching a strength of 5/6 Beaufort and creating a good type of wave in the open sea while  in the afternoon, caused by the thermic effect created by the desert, the wind slacks his intensity. 

On the contrary, from January to April, in the morning the wind is transverse and reaches an average intensity of 2/3 Beaufort while in the afternoon it reaches a remarkable intensity. In any case, generally from October to April the most used sail for windsurfing in the morning or in the afternoon is 5,0/5,5 and the most used kite for Kite-surf is the 10mt.
 
It has to be emphasized that the inner part of the Safaga Bay, being sheltered from the open sea, preserves mainly flat sea conditions while, further offshore, large waves can occur. 
Furthermore, the almost stationary high pressure situation above North Africa creates thermic wind conditions throughout the whole year.
In fact, thanks to a statistical estimate of the wind conditions during the period of one year, is it possible to state that approximately 70% of the days have wind conditions of an average that range between 4 and 7 Beaufort. 
The average water temperature is always between the 20/28°C.
