* wind isn't guaranteed in CV in April. It is (almost) guaranteed in Feb, but outside of Feb it's not this good. Just check WindGuru archives & you will see, actual wind is very close to GFS 13 / GFS 27 forecast (well, usually slightly stronger, especially on sunny days)
*it's not most exciting place in the world... but it's pretty decent. Was almost empty in Feb 2021, but this year I spent 6 weeks there (early Feb to late March), and it was more than enough happening in Santa Maria. Lots of good restaurants & bars (many with live music), some party if you into that, some stuff to see around the island (+ some 'secret' / unattended spots - especially the one next to Shark Bay looked great) , so it's really good combination of 'I want to kite in town' (Angulo spot) / short taxi drive (Kite Beach aka Mitu's base) / secrets spots (you'd need either taxi or rent a car, which may be good idea if you at least 2 or 3 ) and other activities. Also, surfing is possible (even in town, right next to the pier), some people dive + no time spent in traffic
*main spots, i.e. Kite Beach aka Mitu's base and Angulo are both great for twin tip (Kite Beach provides great left-foot-forward kickers if you into jumping). Ponta Preta is not, but it's spot for VERY ADVANCED wave riders anyways.
well, any other questions about the place - let me know. But also use the searcher before as I've shared quite some info (although based on my stay there in 2021) before.
Cannot compare to Egypt, since never been there. But Egypt is flat water & very good when windy. + I've heard many people praising El Gouna (and Dahab too btw).
