Hazards

SANDBAR Sloping sandy beach break — banks shift with N swell events, works at all stages of the tide.
RIP N swell builds a beach-break rip on bigger days — paddle wide of the darker channels.
SEASONAL ACCESS This is a summer resort community — many facilities close or scale back outside the Jun-Aug season, which is exactly when the surf season runs.
OFFSHORE WIND Best with a N swell combined with offshore S/SE wind — a classic winter Egyptian North Coast setup.

Local knowledge

Peak season Dec–Mar · N swell · Relatively few surfers here even on good days
Swell key N swell · Sloping sandy beach, waves break both directions · Best with offshore S/SE wind
