Wetsuit Information
What wetsuit should I use for kitesurfing in Egypt (March–December)?
Kitesurfing in Egypt (Red Sea) is possible almost year-round thanks to warm water temperatures. The right wetsuit depends on the month and how sensitive you are to cold.
Water Temperature Overview
March – May: 22–25°C
June – September: 26–30°C
October: 26–28°C

Recommended Wetsuits by Season
