About this spot
The kite safari on MS/Y Elegante describes a constant daily thermal of roughly 16–25 knots E–ENE in the Ghoubbet from November to April, with downwind runs between beaches. Baie du Lac Salé is an overnight anchorage and a full kiting day on the itinerary.
The operator limits the trip to intermediate and advanced riders.

Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from Djibouti Dynamik (a resident rider's detailed spot and wind guide), the MS/Y Elegante kite-safari itinerary, Unplug and Let's Kite spot cards. Djibouti has no certified kite school on the sand — the resident guide offers only a land-based introduction and says he is not licensed to teach — so no spot carries a beginner label. Ghoubbet spots are reached by boat or 4x4; pins are approximate. Water temperature is a seasonal Gulf of Aden estimate.
Local hazards
- Remote, no services
- Strong daily wind
- Rocky shores and cliffs
