The best months for kitesurfing in Egypt—[UPDATED 2025 with CHARTS]

Will there be wind? This is the question that dangles in everyone’s mind before they book their kitesurfing holiday. You likely only have a week off of work (two weeks, if you’re lucky) and nothing will haunt your dreams like losing even a single day of your trip due to lack of wind. That’s why Egypt is such a world-famous kitesurfing destination—the Red Sea has some of the most consistent wind anywhere.

And we only schedule our Dragonfly Kite Safaris for the absolute best months of wind on the Red Sea: May through October, when the wind is consistently pumping nearly all-day, every-day. The wind may be very good at El Gouna, Hamata, Hurghada, Soma Bay, or one of the other kitesurfing towns in Egypt, but the wind is much better out at sea on a Dragonfly Kite Safari, where the wind is always stronger and cleaner (not to mention we’ll have the island kite locations all to ourselves).

The best time for a kitesurfing holiday in Egypt is May through October when kiteable conditions are guaranteed virtually every day!

Tawila, Geisum, Ashrafi, and the other islands north of Hurghada where we sail our Dragonfly Kite Safaris see a historical average of 80% kiteable wind from May through October, usually pumping around 18 to 25 knots, all-day, all-night. We often go weeks without a wind-free day—seriously, weeks! Whatever the forecast is for towns like El Gouna or Hurghada, you can typically add on 4-5 knots for an accurate at-sea wind forecast for our kite safaris. And forget about gusty conditions—the wind comes across the sea from the north/northeast with no obstructions. This is as clean and consistent wind as you will ever find.

There are nearly 10 different island locations and downwinders we can visit during our kite safaris, and we select a location each day based upon wind conditions. Every day we can sail to where the wind and island geography best match up for world-class kitesurfing conditions, ensuring your week with us on a Dragonfly Kite Safari is the best kitesurfing holiday of your life.

Join us in 2025 and experience the very best wind conditions imaginable!
