Safaga, Egypt
Safaga is the ultimate all-round spot and suitable for everyone, from beginners to absolute experts!
There is no doubt about the fact that our Club Mistral centre offers by far the best windsurfing
spot in Safaga, on the wide, extremely beautiful beach of the Shams Hotel. This part of the beach is on a spit and is completely exposed to the wind. In the morning, the wind blows cross-offshore from the left and changes to sideshore towards the afternoon. These wind conditions in the morning facilitate trips to Tobias Island, which is about 3.5 km away. Directly in front of the Club Mistral centre, you can touch bottom and the water is perfectly flat. Further out, you will find chop-hop conditions. You will find plenty of variety in Safaga – from the wonderful slalom and freeride area to the swell. Here, you can either race or jump.
Our "Unlimited Instruction" programme is offered in a shallow-water training area; there are no obstacles to perfect water starts here. For your non-surfing partners, too, conditions are ideal for ensuring a high level of success for their first attempts at standing on the board.
