Destination Soma Bay - Kitesurfing in Soma Bay
This beautiful and secluded bay is considered one of the best spots for kitesurfing
throughout the whole of the Red Sea. Soma Bay has some small, offshore islands that
protect the bay from big waves. Indeed, fantastic flat water, small to medium sized
waves and shallow areas with sandy beaches and bottom offer something for every
level of ability.
There is wind throughout the year, with some of the best in the summer, usually
sideshore to side-offshore. However, as Soma Bay also enjoys at least 1 Bft more
than Hurghada further up the coast, it is a popular spot all year round.
In the summer months, from May to October, the average wind is around 22 knots or
6 Bft with the afternoons sometimes getting even stronger winds, especially in September.
A recently inaugurated kitesurf centre named ‘7BFT’ is set beautifully on the beach
with perfect kitesurfing conditions. It has set the ambitious target to turn Soma
Bay into one of the most popular spots among kiters and caters for beginners and
professionals with state of the art equipment for teaching and equipment rental.
