Ras Sudr, Egypt » spot info

The spot in Ras Sudr
The long stretch of coast literally takes a windward bow in front of the station and stretches over a distance of 1 kilometre in the form of a sand bank further and further into 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. Another advantage is a shallow water area (depending on the tide), which reaches 100 metres 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 Ramada Hotel. Between the centre building and the turquoise flat water are only 100 metres of sandy beach. Directly next to the centre is the hotel’s beach bar. The centre 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 Ramada Hotel, is the base for a new centre for kiters and windsurfing beginners. In front of the hotel is a huge lagoon which offers – depending on the tide – perfect flat water conditions for kitesurfing. The time you can spend on the water can ,however, 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 alternatively. During high tide the large and safe lagoon and the constant wind presents a perfect learning environment.

Kids
Ras Sudr offers very good conditions for teaching kids. The water is warm, very clean and flat. This makes 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.
