Eilat Green Beach

Eilat Green Beach is an exposed Red Sea beach launch near Aqaba with consistently warm, clear water and a strong daytime thermal wind regime. The northerly/offshore wind pattern is central to the spot’s performance, creating very smooth flat-water conditions that are ideal for wind and foil sports when you’re properly set up and careful about drift. For surfing specifically, winter is the favored season, but ride quality is described as poor and the surf is generally unreliable. Surf only tends to become ridable during infrequent stronger southerly storm events that push swell into the Gulf of Aqaba; even then, the beach-break tends to be small, soft, and often short-lived. Kitesurfing, windsurfing, and wingfoiling are the main focus. Thermal winds are typically active around late morning through the afternoon (about 11:00 to 17:00 described), and summer months are noted for higher wind consistency. Because the wind is often offshore, staying upwind and using designated entry/exit points is critical. Safety on this beach emphasizes maritime awareness: offshore drift, deep water near shore, and nearby boat traffic are key hazards. Local guidance recommends checking rescue boat service availability before launching and staying clear of designated swimming zones in front of hotels.
