Destination Dahab - Windsurfing in Dahab
The small city of Dahab, one hour by car from Sharm el Sheikh, is probably the oldest
and best known windsurfing destination in the whole Red Sea. The wind blows almost
all day long! Depending on your position around the famous lagoon south of Dahab
city, the wind blows cross-offshore to offshore and also sideshore. The best months
for windsurfing are May, June and September.
Here, we find different windsurfing spots: the wonderful blue lagoon, with a shallow
and protected bay with a sandy bottom, is a perfect place for those who want to
try out windsurfing for the first time or enrol in a complete course.
Experts and freestylers will have a lot of fun outside the protected lagoon in the
area called “speedy”: a perfect shallow water area with stronger winds and with
some choppy waves. The third spot is ‘napoleon reef ‘and suitable for wave freaks.
The swell is up to four metres high but has no breaking waves; the direction is
perfect and creates fantastic jumping conditions.
