Windsurf areas in Dahab
In this article we will tell you about all the windsurfing areas in Dahab.
The entire lagoon area is divided into three distinct sections:
- the lagoon itself, which hosts the main surf centres
- a Speedy zone
- a Wave zone (Kamikaze).
The absence of waves, thanks to a large sand spit, as well as the smooth water and coast-directed wind, make the lagoon an ideal location for windsurfing training. The expansive shallow water area is convenient for water launches.

For speed surfing lovers, there is a 2 kilometer-long section known as the Speedy zone that begins just behind the sand spit. Consistent and even wind conditions here provide ample opportunity for high-speed rides. Additionally, a specially constructed safety island in the Speedy zone offers a place for rest and reflection for those looking to take a break or celebrate their accomplishments.
For those who enjoy wave riding beyond the reef in the open sea, there is a Wave zone which provides an exhilarating experience. Due to sufficiently large waves (1-2 meters), a far location from the stations and a difficult passage through the reefs, only real professionals ride here.

In the event of unforeseen situations, especially for beginners or those fatigued in the Lagoon area and the Speedy zone, a team of rescuers on boats is always there to help. However, there is no rescue service in the Wave zone. Due to the presence of various dangers such as sea urchins, corals, and stones on the seabed in the surfing areas, it is advisable to wear watershoes.
