TL;DR

For early October, travelers were booking Hurghada resorts such as Rixos and Sunrise around two months ahead. Reported examples ranged from RUB 110,000–127,000 for six nights for two adults and a child, to roughly RUB 250,000–340,000 for 11–12 nights including flights.

What the community said

For an August–September trip, start monitoring prices in February and aim to book from late March to mid-April. After that, rates typically rise and popular hotels may stop selling rooms. The early-booking period is generally considered to run until about mid-April.

Another recommendation is to book at least four months ahead, ideally six months. One example was a 10-day October trip for two adults and one child, booked in May with EgyptAir flights, for RUB 280,000.

One view is that booking a month ahead is not essential; a suitable option may still be available even the day before departure.
