Ras Sudr, Egypt » spot info

The Spot at Ras Sudr
The long stretch of coast literally takes a windward bow in front of the station and stretches over a distance of 1km in the form of a sand bank further and further out to the sea before it returns to the land. This characteristic has two advantages. Firstly: in this area the wind can blow unhindered and side shore over the wide sandy beach without gusts or swirls. Secondly: flat water with a slight to medium chop invites pure freeride and freestyle fun. A third advantage is a shallow water area (depending upon the tide), which reaches 100m into the sea. Stones or corals are scarcely found here.

Wind and Waves
The north to north east wind blows sideshore to side-offshore and increases during the morning hours until it reaches a peak in the afternoon. In the late afternoon the wind normally calms down again. Due to a moderate breeze and flat water, the morning hours offer perfect conditions for beginners.

The Center
The Club Mistral/Skyriders center is located on the windward side in the premises of the Sinai Stars Resort. Between the center building and the turquoise flat water are only 100 metres of sandy beach. Directly next to the centre is the hotel beach bar. The center offers ample space, and the windsurfing and kitesurfing areas are separate from each other. The Creative Green Ras Sudr Hotel, located within 15 minutes walking distance windwards of the Sinai Stars Resort, is the base for our second centre. Club Mistral offers a free shuttle service between the twol hotels. In front of the hotel is a huge lagoon which offers – depending upon the tide – perfect flat water conditions for kitesurfing. The time you can spend on the water can be limited during the day, as the lagoons have almost no water during low tide. In this case the main centre at Ramada Hotel is used as an alternative. During high tide the large and safe lagoon and the constant wind presents a perfect learning environment. A third Club Mistral & Skyriders Center is located in between the two other centers, closer to where the open sea starts.

Kids
Ras Sudr offers very good conditions for teaching kids. The water is warm, very clean and flat, making this place really good to teach kids and beginners. There is also an area of 150m of shallow water which makes the teaching areas very safe.
