About This Break

Rowad Resort is a lesser-known surf spot along Egypt's Mediterranean coastline. Unlike the country's famous Red Sea destinations, which are primarily associated with diving, snorkeling, and wind sports, Egypt's northern coast receives wind-driven swells and occasional groundswell from Mediterranean weather systems.

The break is associated with a sandy beach environment, where shifting sandbars can produce left- and right-hand peaks. Surf conditions are generally less consistent than at major Atlantic or Indian Ocean destinations, with the best opportunities occurring during stronger Mediterranean storm systems.

Winter is typically the most productive season for surfing along Egypt's Mediterranean coast, particularly when passing low-pressure systems generate north and northwest swells. Smaller days may suit beginner and intermediate surfers, while stronger storms can create powerful shorebreak, challenging currents, and rapidly changing conditions.
