Conditions at Zabargad Beach Resort House Reef

Zabargad Beach Resort House Reef is open to the sea from the NNW–SE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the S–NW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 27 °C at the surface and stays warm past 25 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: open sea (over 200 km)NNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 40.2 km of open waterSSE: 4.7 km of open waterS: 0.6 km of open waterSSW: 0.4 km of open waterSW: 0.3 km of open waterWSW: 0.3 km of open waterW: 0.4 km of open waterWNW: 0.6 km of open waterNW: 2.9 km of open waterNNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW

Open to NNW–SE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from S–NW: land blocks the waves.
