Is it safe to swim beyond the buoys in Egypt, and how windy is the sea in November?

November on Egypt’s coast may be windy, and the sea can gradually get cooler. Some visitors may feel chilly by the pool even during the day, so bring a cover-up for after swimming.

Conditions can be calm and comfortable on a given day, but that does not guarantee the same weather in November: wind and sea temperature vary considerably day to day.

Do not plan on swimming beyond the buoys: strong currents can occur, and swimmers may need lifeguard assistance to get back to the pier. The sea may be rough.
