Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.
Water temperature data for this location is gathered from various sources, including buoys and satellite sea and ocean surface maps provided by the NOAA agency. We also incorporate data from local authorities in each specific location worldwide to ensure more accurate temperature readings.
Annual Water Temperature Overview by Month
Monthly Water Temp Ranges
Annual Water Temperature Trend
Alexandria, on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, has a typically mild maritime climate that keeps sea temperatures fairly moderate year-round. Seasonal water temperatures generally range from about 17–20 °C in the coldest months (December–February), rise to roughly 18–24 °C in spring (March–May), reach their warmest between about 22–30 °C in summer (June–August) and then cool gradually to around 20–26 °C in autumn (September–November). Local conditions and wind patterns can produce short-term variations, with northerly winds and upwelling occasionally lowering temperatures and calm, sunny spells bringing peaks in late summer. The Mediterranean here warms more slowly than air, so the warmest sea temperatures usually occur in August and early September.

Swimming Conditions
Swimming and beach holidays in Alexandria are centered on a mix of public shorelines, private club beaches and hotel-accessed stretches along the Corniche and around the eastern districts. During the warmer months, many locals and visitors swim, sunbathe and take part in non-motorized water sports; commercial beach clubs often provide facilities such as changing rooms, loungers and supervised areas. Water quality and amenities vary by location, so those seeking a more comfortable beach holiday often choose managed beaches or hotels with private sections and pools. For shoulder seasons when the sea is cooler, some swimmers use wetsuits or prefer heated hotel pools, while summer months offer the most reliably comfortable conditions for extended swims in water commonly above 24–25 °C.
