Dahab is now recognised as one of the best locations in the world for windsurfing. This hidden dessert oasis boasts constant trade winds, sandy shores and crystal clear warm waters.
Conditions
Club Dahab offers outstanding year-round windsurfing with possibly the widest range of conditions you'll ever find in one venue. And because you can choose where to sail, it's ideal for all levels, from complete beginner to the very advanced. Strong and consistent desert thermals funnel through the mountains to provide reliable wind, with over 300 days of Force 4+ a year.
There are three main sailing areas, with the best possible access from Club Dahab:
'Lagoon'
The protected lagoon is directly in front of Club Dahab and, with its
flat water and gentler winds, is ideal for total beginners and the less
experienced. A shallow area at one end is ideal for cracking beach
starts and water starts, even in the stronger winds. But it's also
great learning ground for the more experienced and it's ideal for video
work from the tower.
'Speed Strip'
The more adventurous can head out around the sand spit to this renowned
speed course. This huge expanse of flat water with superbly clean winds
is ideal for perfecting carve gybes and high wind freestyle manoeuvres
without crowding.
'Outer Reef'
Beyond the outer reef, the truly hardcore will find a perfect wave
playground of big rolling swell, ideal for getting the hang of
wave-riding and of course plenty of air.
