Is it too cold to swim in the sea in Hurghada in winter (November-January)?

TL;DR
Water temperature comfort depends mostly on wind: on calm days even kids swim without freezing, but with strong wind getting out of the sea or pool feels very cold, and in January some travelers skip swimming entirely.

On a calm weekend with almost no wind, kids got out of the sea without any complaints of cold.

In early November, when it was windy, it felt chilly, especially getting out of the sea — needed to wrap up in a towel on the beach right away.

During a January trip, strong winds meant no one went into the sea at all for the whole vacation, and even getting out of the pool felt very cold.
