The winds and breezes
The seasonal activity of the wind is especially evident in the central and the southern sections of the Red Sea. Here the northeast winds in the winter and southwest in the summer are the influences of monsoons (periodic winds characterized by clear typical seasonal inversions in the tropical zones).
As for the northern area of the Red Sea the prevailing winds blow all year long from a northerly direction becoming stronger in the winter and tending to calm down in the afternoon and at night.

Waves
Waves are a phenomenon of motion transfer caused by the winds effect upon the surface of the water, the height of the waves, that is, the distance between the crest and the trough, depends on three factors: the force of the wind, the duration of the wind activity and the amount of open space for the wind to act.
The ratio between the length and height of waves is approximately 7:1. n other words ,if the wavelength is seven meters, the height will be one meter.
Obviously the diver who goes too close to the coral reef with breaking waves risks being thrown against it with serious consequences.
