El Gouna in January
This guide gives you a clear snapshot of El Gouna in January, focusing on temperature, sea, and wind. With an average sea temperature of 19.8 °C and a maximum air temperature of 21 °C, the weather is mild. The North‑West wind averages 13.7 knots, offering kiteable conditions on roughly two‑thirds of the days. These conditions make El Gouna a popular spot for kitesurfers and wind‑sport enthusiasts during this month.
Schedule kite sessions when the wind exceeds 12 knots, usually in the afternoon, and aim for the western beaches like KBC, Kite Power, or Makani. For land activities, the David Cycle Group offers motorbikes, scooters and tricycles in the pleasant 21 °C daytime, while Moto Club gives desert rides with Red Sea views.
