What to expect in August
The year's highest rideable-day share — about 85% in our station record.
August has the highest share of rideable days in our station record at about 85%. Air is hot, water reaches around 29 °C, and the chance of getting a full session on any given day is higher than in the other measured months. From mid-August the beach gets very busy, so book ahead.
One thing to expect every day, year-round: the wind here is a north/north-west thermal that builds late morning and peaks in the afternoon — so early mornings can be calm. We plan your sessions around that rhythm, and you can always check the live wind and our 16-day forecast before you head out.

Is August the windiest month in El Gouna?
Our data does not claim the highest average wind speed. It shows that August has the highest share of rideable days: about 85% reach at least 12 knots for two daytime hours. By that trip-planning metric, it is the most reliable month in our record.
Is El Gouna crowded in August?
From mid-August onward, yes — it's one of the busiest, most energetic stretches of the year. Book your course and any specific-language instructor well ahead. There's still plenty of water, as our lagoon has several separate zones to spread out across.
