Socotra

The Island of Socotra has earned a fearsome reputation as ‘the windiest location on Earth’. Located just off the horn of Africa, north-east of Somalia, this small Yemeni island sits where the Indian Ocean meets the Arabian and Red Seas – a seriously windy zone during the summertime SW monsoon. Widely neglected by the world at large until recently, Socotra is just beginning to be explored by eco-tourists and its incredible wind statistics have thrust it upon kiting and windsurfing consciousness.
