TL;DR
Early November in Hurghada is usually warm, with comfortable sea temperatures and often light winds. Avoid northern Hurghada if you want a sheltered beach, as it can be windy year-round; for Makadi Bay in December, choose a hotel with a wind-protected beach.
Travelers used to the sheltered bays of Sharm El Sheikh in late November recommend checking how well the specific Hurghada hotel beach is protected from wind before booking.
For a mid-December stay in Makadi Bay, the key factor is the hotel’s location and how sheltered its beach is from the wind; conditions may differ from a December stay in Sharm El Sheikh.
Early November in Hurghada is generally good for a beach holiday, with warm sea water and infrequent strong winds. It is best to avoid northern Hurghada, which is considered windy throughout the year.
