About this spot

About

Jasmin Village (Hurghada Bay) is a kitesurfing-focused spot in Hurghada known for shallow, clear Red Sea water and a large sandy area that works well for learning and progression. The setup includes dedicated shallow zones and two small seawater lakes used for beginners, with kiters also having their own shallow beach section upwind of the main swimming areas. Water is consistently described as crystal-clear with small waves and minimal currents in the learning lagoon area. Wind is dominated by a north thermal/sea-breeze pattern. In the main season (May through October, sometimes starting earlier), the breeze typically develops from late morning and builds through afternoon, supporting freeride and freestyle practice on a largely flat-to-choppy surface depending on wind strength. Sources describe a typical riding range roughly from low teens up to the mid-20s knots, with higher reliability during summer months. Wind shadows or gustiness can occur close to hotel buildings, so launches and positioning matter. Safety is strongly tied to the shoreline and tidal/reef conditions. Reef patches/reef plates, stones, coral, and shells are reported within swimming/adjacent areas; shoes are strongly recommended. At low tide, parts of the bay can dry out—especially an offshore reef—reducing what’s safely crossable. A stone pier (mole) to the side and occasional wind offshore components are additional considerations; staying within designated zones and actively monitoring wind direction are emphasized. Overall, the spot’s infrastructure and learning environment are a major advantage, with on-site watersports support for rentals and basic repairs and a rescue boat reported on standby. For beginners especially, the left learning lake/standing-depth areas are the primary options, while restrictions apply to the right lake. When conditions dip (e.g., low tide or wind shadowing near buildings), ride planning and conservative technique are recommended.

  • Large sandy beach and shallow standing-depth learning areas
  • Two small seawater lakes for beginner practice
  • Crystal-clear water
