Sea temperature and swimming in June
The sea is warming up. Average sea temperature: 25°C in May, 27°C in June and 28°C in July. You can snorkel for an hour or more without feeling cold.
No wetsuit needed. A rash vest or an old T-shirt protects your back from the sun while you snorkel.
What's running in June
The wind blows on about 6 days in 10, so sheltered bays like Abu Dabab are a reliable choice, and boat trips such as Sataya are best booked early in your stay. The water is now warm enough for long snorkelling stops.
Luxor is about 40°C, so most people skip it in June. The Seascope is an easy way to show children the reef.
