The Windsurfing

With fantastic weather statistics offering close to 300 days of wind a year and a 5 km square lagoon, Ras Sudr really is the spot to head to for your windsurfing holiday. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, there is something for you in this renowned destination. From learning to beach or water-start, to carve gybes and flat water freestyle, Ras Sudr is a favourite spot for pro-clinics and offers some of the best windsurfing conditions in the Red Sea.

Winds are pretty consistent all year round with November to April (Winter) offering approximately 50-70% of days at force 4 but mainly force 5,  increasing to 90% of days May to October (Summer).

Paradise – this is our favourite beach as it is a long and sandy bay with shallow water, calm to choppy water and cross on winds from the right. Unlike at Greens, at low tide you can get on the water directly in front of the centre.

Greens & Ramada – this well known spot is 20 minutes downwind from Paradise and has the calm and shallow sea typical to Ras Sudr. Here, however, the tide really affects the wind & kitesurfing zones resulting in a long walk in soft sand to the water’s edge at low tide.
