Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
At El Hana, the wind most often works in NE, which gives a placement that is rather side-on shore to side shore depending on the exact angle of the day. The spot is known in Sousse for its operation with the afternoon thermal breeze, which often strengthens the wind around noon and early afternoon. The water surface is generally livelier than elsewhere on the coast, with chop and sometimes small waves when the bottom and wind align better.
Water entry is from a sandy beach, but the space remains average to limited for preparing and launching the kite. Therefore, one must remain tidy with the rigging and avoid spreading out across the entire beach. The spot does not really depend on the tide, which simplifies the session, but the state of the water can change depending on the day's exposure and the presence of bathers in season. For comfortable navigation, one should aim for a well-established wind and a not too crowded beach.
