Going to Nyali, but think they get pretty much the same wind as that spot. Yeah, that was the same forecast I was looking at
At least I don't weigh too much, if someone lends me a 15m and a skim board I might be alright - between 3pm and 6pm anyway. Just my luck that the sun sets at 4pm
Sometimes this is a rubbish sport!!!!

Hi Lucie, have you checked out the kitebeaches south of Mombasa yet? There is a brand new kite guesthouse opening down there -

Windguru and windfinder are weathermodel (mainly the U.S. GFS model) based forecasts. This means they see wind as differences in pressure. Thermal wind s very local and can't be seen by weathermodels therefor the actual wind is quite often much better.
Colona has a livecam with live wind for Hurghada.

It is these kind of things you ought to look at.
