What the community said

According to a local resident, in winter (including February) the sea in Hurghada typically doesn't drop below about 23°C, though exact water and air temperatures can vary year to year depending on your specific travel dates.

Another late-April report (from Apr 21): weather was great, air +30°C, but the sea was cooler than usual at 23-24°C. Travelers got sunburned quickly, by day two. Hotel pools were warmer than the sea, except for the biggest pool which stays cold.

In mid-February, Hurghada can be surprisingly warm. One traveler stayed there from February 14 for 6 days and said the weather was great for the beach the whole time: air temperature was around 30°C, there was almost no wind, and the sea felt very warm.

In November, the sea in Hurghada still stays warm at about 26–27°C even in the second half of the month. The main downside is wind: during the last days of a trip it may get breezy, so it feels cool after leaving the water rather than in the sea itself.

By late April, the sea in Hurghada is typically around 25–26°C and daytime air temperature is about 30°C. Travelers say this period is comfortable even without air conditioning, especially if you want warm water without peak summer heat.
