Kazma (Port El Kantaoui)

Kazma (Port El Kantaoui) is a flat-to-small-wave kitesurfing and wingfoil learning area with clean water and a medium sandy beach. The launch is generally easy, with shallow water close to shore transitioning gradually deeper. Conditions are described as minimal currents and generally sheltered, making it more forgiving for progression than high-energy breaks. Wind is dominated by thermal sea-breeze patterns, with the best direction consistently described as SE. Thermal winds are typically active in the afternoon, with reported thermal timing commonly falling around roughly 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and with strongest performance in the warm-season months. The spot’s best months align around June through October. Safety is the key consideration: swimmers are the primary hazard during the high season, and summer kite access is often restricted to designated areas away from main swimming zones. Beach umbrellas and small fishing boats are also mentioned as hazards, and the spot can get crowded with beachgoers in July and August. For beginners in particular, the guidance is to avoid going out alone and to seek professional instruction. For gear and support, recommendations include protective items such as a helmet and impact protection, plus a leash. Rescue availability is described as limited (with one note indicating “no” rescue), and lifeguards are seasonal. Emergency medical access is available via local clinics and hospitals in Sousse/Port El Kantaoui.
