Is it windy in Hurghada in summer and how does it affect comfort?

Near the Sphinx area, the sea stays cool because the water keeps receding and returning, never fully warming up. The wind there is quite strong too — strong enough to blow a hat right off your head.

One visitor compared it to Sharm El Sheikh, where it was hot in September, while in Hurghada even now walking along the sea their feet feel cold — the wind feels very pleasant, but this chill happens just from walking by the water, not only after swimming.

The breeze can noticeably reduce nighttime stuffiness: sleeping with the balcony open may be comfortable even without air conditioning.

Summer wind in Hurghada can be quite unpredictable: mornings may start almost calm and feel stuffy by the water, then the wind can strengthen suddenly, create light waves, and make swimming less comfortable — you may feel chilled even in the water and need a towel right after getting out.

Even during the day, strong wind can make the heat much easier to tolerate — it feels easier to breathe than in windless periods, but getting out of the sea can sometimes feel cool even at midday, not just in the morning or evening.

The wind is one of the main reasons to choose Hurghada over other resorts in summer — without it the heat would be unbearable. On the beach and at sea there is no oppressive heat at all, the wind takes care of that. Evening walks into town after dinner are pleasant. Wind blows almost all week long without a break.

Strong winds have been blowing for several days in a row, almost knocking you off your feet. At +36°C it still feels very comfortable outside. But stepping out of the sea immediately feels cold due to the wind. There is no oppressive heat at the resort.

In the morning and evening, getting out of the sea or pool in the wind feels noticeably cool — bring a towel or cover-up. This applies across Hurghada, not just specific beaches.

The lagoon water is cool in the morning, and the wind can be very strong at times. Getting out of the water in the morning or evening during gusts feels uncomfortable — you feel cold despite the hot daytime temperature.
