About Hurghada Sahl Hasheesh
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 53). The sea is about 23°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Sahl Hasheesh. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites.
