A word about
ION CLUB Safaga
Located about 50 kilometers south of Hurghada, the Egyptian destination of Safaga is home to many scuba diving clubs, and is also one of the best wingsurfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing spots in Egypt. The contrast between the deep blue and turquoise colours of the Red Sea, and the arid mountains of the hinterland makes Safaga a fantastic setting for your kitesurfing or wingfoiling trip in this particularly windy desert. Since 1991, the ION CLUB Safaga center, close to the Shams hotels, has been one of the best addresses among the kitesurfing centers in Egypt. ION CLUB Safaga has offered kitesurfing since 2003, with courses and rentals on offer. Recently we offer wingfoiling courses and rental. One of the highlights of the spot for all kitesurfers, wingfoilers and windsurfers are the organized trips to the paradise island of Tobia, a small sandy island located close by.
The wind at the spot in front of the ION CLUB center is offshore in the morning – perfect for downwinders to the famous Toubia Island spot. Then around 11 a.m. it switches to sideshore and gets more steady. Safaga is an awesome spot for riders of all levels – ideal for freeriders and for working on your freestyle or foil skills.
BEST PERIODS
March, April, May, June, September, October, November
WIND
In the morning, the wind blows side-offshore, coming from the left when looking at the sea, turning side-shore around noon. The wind conditions in the morning favour kitesurfing and windsurfing beginners. It is also a perfect opportunity for independent kiters to take advantage of an excursion to Tobia Island, a sandy island surrounded by turquoise water less than 4 kilometers from the ION CLUB center ... not to be missed! In the afternoon, the wind turns to side-shore and often becomes stronger, around 20-25 knots, sometimes a little more until the end of the day. In order to limit incidents between kitesurfers and windsurfers, two separate areas are set up, and the few coral areas are clearly marked. You can relax and sail without risk … the Safaga kitesurfing and windsurfing center has thought of everything!
WAVES
Spot without waves, sometimes a little choppy if the wind is strong
HOW TO GET THERE ?
From Hurghada Airport
