TL;DR
Nabq is generally considered the riskiest area for winter winds. Hadaba is seen as a more balanced choice for reef access, although wind conditions can still vary.
For a winter holiday, Nabq is best avoided if wind is a concern or this is your only annual trip to Sharm El Sheikh; travelers describe it as an especially windy area.
Hadaba is presented as a balanced option: its reef is considered good, while wind exposure can depend on the day and the hotel’s exact location.
Naama Bay may suit travelers looking for a more sheltered base, but it is considered less appealing when snorkeling and reef quality are the main priorities.
Before booking Ghazala, check recent wind reports: travelers note that after noon, wind can make the beach feel cool and uncomfortable.
