Sea temperature and swimming in June
The sea is warming up. Average sea temperature: 24°C in May, 26°C in June and 27°C in July. Most people swim and snorkel comfortably without a wetsuit, though children may feel cool after a long snorkel.
Most people do not need a wetsuit. A rash vest helps with the sun, and a thin shorty is worth it for children or anyone who feels the cold.
What's running in June
The sea is warm enough for long snorkelling stops, but strong wind blows on about 6 days in 10 and the ride out can be bumpy. Book island trips such as Paradise Island early in your stay, so a windy day does not cost you the trip.
Luxor is about 40°C and Cairo about 35°C, so many families choose a water park or an afternoon super safari instead.
