We were there in Mid Dec this year - OK for sunbathing from about 09:30 till about 16:00 when the sun starts to go down - should be a bit later in mid Jan.
If you have a hotel with a heated pool you'll be fine - defo no good in unheated pools - sea just about warm enough to swim if you're hardy but not as good as a heated pool.
If you have a debit card you can use the ATM in the airport arrivals hall in Hurghada. Especially good if you have a Nationwide Bs Account since they do not charge for oversea withdrawals.
People will generally take USD / Euros / British Pounds but you will need small denominations which may not be possible from ATMs etc.
