What is the sea temperature in Egypt right now, and is the water deep enough for swimming from the beach?

TL;DR
Recent checks show the sea is around 29.5°C from the pier, typically 26–28°C at the beach, and about 26°C at depth. Swimming conditions near shore depend a lot on the tide: sometimes the water is high enough, but often it stays only knee-deep close to the beach.
What the community said
The latest measurement from the pier showed the sea at 29.5°C. For comparison, the pool was about 34.5°C, so the sea feels cooler but still very comfortable for swimming.

At high tide, the shoreline gets much more water, and people often relax half-submerged right by the beach. Even then, it may still not be ideal for proper swimming from shore because the depth can remain limited.

On typical days, the water near the beach can be very shallow, often only knee-deep. If you want actual swimming rather than just cooling off, a pier entry or a deeper access point is usually better.

At depth, the water stays around 26°C. Right at the beach it is usually warmer, roughly 26–28°C, though this changes with wind strength and how much the water layers are mixing.
