TL;DR
Tide times for Sharm el-Sheikh are easy to find online: in summer 2026 participants suggested searching for 'tide times Sharm el-Sheikh' — the first site shows when the highest tide and lowest ebb occur. There are also tide charts by time of day and by month, several months ahead. Low tides are a feature of the Red Sea, but participants say the sea is not always out of reach: guests swim from the pontoon or from the shore.
On wind: in late September 2026 a participant noted that the wind here blows mainly from December onwards and is stronger north of Montazah. He also pointed out that online forecasts show the temperature in the shade, while the air is dry and the heat is easier to bear by the sea.
About November: in July 2026 a participant said that in early November the low tides are usually smaller and the high tides bigger, with two peaks a day on the tide chart. He had not walked this hotel's pontoon himself but compared it with the one at Gravity, where a similar length did not tire him — you can watch marine life from above along the way.
How deep at high tide: in late June 2026 a participant wrote that at high tide the water is at most waist-deep, referring to photos shared in the discussion.
The simplest method suggested in June 2026: search for 'tide times Sharm el-Sheikh' and open the first site — it lists the times of the highest tide and the lowest ebb. In August participants added that tide charts by time of day and by month are available online.
On waves and water temperature: in June 2026 participants wrote that strong waves are very rare and that a 'cold sea' is a very personal notion. The water temperature depends on the season; you can look it up online and decide whether it suits you.
For planning a trip, participants in June 2026 suggested checking the tide chart several months ahead together with the weather forecast and wind speed: this helps estimate when the sea will be accessible and when to expect wind and waves. They also reminded that the weather remains unpredictable.
According to participants, low tide does not always put the sea out of reach: guests swim from the pontoon or from the shore. In August 2026 one of them stressed that people should not be scared off by claims that there is never any sea here — tides are a feature of the Red Sea, and the chart can be checked online in advance.
