Red Sea in November

[SGR Jeff]

I'm heading to the Red Sea for the 1st time in November. Going to the North tip of the Red Sea and staying in Eliat. Was just wondering if anyone knew the average water temp for that time of year and also what the weather should be like.

Thanks
Jeff

Eilat is a bit further up than where I live but it should not bee too much of a difference. Have a look at the diagram over temperatures in water, on land and suit suggestions at the bottom of this page RED SEA YEAR - TIME TABLE Just scroll down past the section on Marina Life and details on what you can see at what time of year in what part of the Red Sea.

There is plenty of useful information there.


Cheers

I think you can expect 24-25 Celsius degrees. In Eilat there aren't too much big animals. With a little luck you'll see seahorses, frogfish which are rare in the Red Sea. I had a very nice diving experience there in the Dolphin Reef.

Aqaba, which is next door to Eliat has water temps currently 26C according to the Dive Aqaba website.

Eilat was awesome, great diving all week long. The water temp was 74 degrees all week and doing 4 dives a day I was getting cold. Glad I brought a 5mm suit.
