What is the sea temperature in Egypt right now, and is the water deep enough for swimming from the beach?

In this bay, neck-deep water is typically reached after walking only about 15–20 m; the quiet-beach section is shallower.

The beach in this bay is sheltered from the wind, so it is generally comfortable for both sunbathing and swimming.

Strong wind and waves can mix the water and lower the sea temperature to 23–25°C; at low tide, the water by the shore may be clearer than near the pier, where it can be murky.

The latest measurement from the pier showed the sea at 29.5°C. For comparison, the pool was about 34.5°C, so the sea feels cooler but still very comfortable for swimming.

At high tide, the shoreline gets much more water, and people often relax half-submerged right by the beach. Even then, it may still not be ideal for proper swimming from shore because the depth can remain limited.

On typical days, the water near the beach can be very shallow, often only knee-deep. If you want actual swimming rather than just cooling off, a pier entry or a deeper access point is usually better.

At depth, the water stays around 26°C. Right at the beach it is usually warmer, roughly 26–28°C, though this changes with wind strength and how much the water layers are mixing.
