Makadi Beach
Egypt · Mer-Rouge
The beach of Makadi Bay, located on the Red Sea in Egypt, is a popular spot in a sheltered bay surrounded by resorts. It features a beautiful sandy beach with plenty of umbrellas and crowds, especially during the season. It's a convenient place for kiters staying on-site, with a lively atmosphere thanks to the nearby hotels.
The spot attracts riders of all levels due to its flat to choppy water in the bay and small, easy waves outside. Schools like Star Surf or Kite Fly School offer lessons and equipment on-site or nearby. The launch area is medium-sized, suitable for a calm learning experience.
Makadi Bay combines accessibility and reliable conditions, ideal for a session after a family beach day.

The wind ideally comes from the NE or NW, providing a perfect side-on on the south-facing beach. In the bay, the water remains flat to chop even with strong wind, perfect for tricks and freestyle. Outside the bay, you find rolling waves of 1 to 3 meters, nice for easy wave riding.
Launching is done directly from the sandy beach, but with crowds and umbrellas, it's important to choose your take-off spot carefully. The navigation area is wide in the deep lagoon, with a safety boat monitoring. At high tide, it's optimal as the water rises and facilitates launches. Be cautious of crowded areas near the resorts.
Sessions last long due to the warm climate, and local schools like Kite Fly School offer free transfers from Hurghada, 20 minutes away. It's a versatile spot for beginners in the lagoon and advanced riders in the waves outside.
