Weather and sea: what to expect
A sea at 23 °C is fine for swimming without being warm: a short wetsuit is still useful for staying in the water a long time. The air is very pleasant in the morning and evening, hotter in the middle of the day. The steady wind cools boat decks. For other months, see the best time to visit Hurghada.
