What's the weather like in Hurghada in July — is the heat unbearable and is it safe to swim when it's windy?

Near the Citadel area, avoid swimming far out in strong wind — rocks are close to the surface and you can get seriously hurt.

Wind picked up over the last two days, making the heat much more bearable compared to when there's no wind at all.

The air outside feels like an oven, but the sea water is pleasant — swimming is the best relief from the heat.

Without wind, the heat in Hurghada is brutal — it feels like being roasted on a grill.
