El Tur
El Tur has conditions to suit almost every aspect of modern windsurfing, including the only real waves in Egypt.
Moses Bay
The bay directly in front of the centre offers butter smooth conditions ideal for most windsurfers. The steady wind is ideal for mastering the fundamentals of footstraps and harness, honing your freeriding skills and for freestyling. Freestylers from all over Europe come here to train for weeks and sometimes months because the conditions are so reliable.
Beginner Bay
To the left of the centre is a small shallow bay ideal for beginners taking their first wobbly steps. It's waist deep for a long way out and the bottom is mostly soft sand. The water is sheltered and protected from the strong winds.
The Point
At the mouth of the harbour the flat water meets the rolling swell right where a reef runs into deep water. This happy accident creates a perfect jumping ramp. It works most days the wind blows and usually kicks up a waist high stunt ramp which is ideal for practising jumps, forward and back loops. When the swell is big this place really comes alive and you can boost massive air - go as high as you dare!
Habibi Wave Beach This spot offers real waves pushed in by a cross-onshore wind. With smooth water in between they break on a sandbar offering easy and safe jumping and riding conditions. Further out the sandbar gives way to reef and the conditions get a lot more serious. On big days the swell can be logo to mast high.
