Why Riders Love It
In summer there seems to be good thermal winds coming from the e East, means side-sideonshore from the right, having a peak of approximate 15-18 knots at around 5 to 7pm, but staying good until the sun goes down. That makes it perfect if you work in Tripoli during the summer, with daylight until around 8pm. In winter you'll have to rely on frontals, which can come from all directions from the sea, being as strong as 25 knots or more. The so-called "Ghibli" (hot South wind, carrying desert sand) may blow a few times in spring and fall.
When to Go
Air temperature is around 25-30°C in summer. In winter as low as 10°C and if you catch a sunny day as high as the 20's°C. Water warm enough to wear shorts in summer (use sun protection). Wetsuit (2/3mm) for the winter. Most probably you can kite all year round.
What to Expect
Generally flat and choppy in summer. Some breaking waves if there is swell and/or strong winds, but then you will find a messy sea. Generally during winter the sea will be more messy and choppy. Tide effects are small or not noticeable. When entering the water you may find some small rocks hidden under water. Wearing booties is really advisable.
