Windsurfing in Hurghada: speed and wind in 2026

7 advantages of windsurfing in Hurghada

• A gentle sandy entry into the water: Ideal conditions for your first outing under sail and for practising the water start.
• Separated riding zones: Safe, dedicated areas for surfers well away from swimming holidaymakers.
• A wide choice of equipment: Sails of every size (from 2.0 for children to 8.5 racing cambered sails) and boards from 85 to 220 litres.
• Professional schools: Russian- and English-speaking instructors will have you standing on the board within 3–5 lessons for beginners.
• The spot in Magawish Bay: The famous shallow flat with a steady side-shore wind.
• Storage for personal equipment: Convenient lockers and freshwater rinse stations for those who fly in with their own kit.
• A comfortable temperature: In summer you ride in a lycra top; in winter a short 2–3 mm wetsuit is enough. If you would rather be towed than powered by the wind, try parasailing or a private speed boat programme.
