This has been a mistranslation. Moses never crossed the RED SEA - he crossed the SEA OF REEDS.
The Israelites were being pursued by a vengeful Pharaoh's army, and were trapped with this sea in front of them. Moses prayed, and God caused the waters to part - allowing them to cross safely. The Egyptian army followed, but God caused the waters to close up again, causing the total destruction of the Egyptians and finally freeing the Israelites fromtheir slavery.

Is there any evidence that the Celts were a witness to Moses parting the Red Sea?
First of all, there is no evidence that Moses ever parted the Red Sea, or even that there was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. In fact, there is near-unanimity among scholars that this did not really happen. If indeed the Red Sea was parted somewhere around 1440 BCE, then the Celts were then located far away in eastern Europe and would have been blissfully unaware of this momentous event.
What do historians look at to explain the parting of the Red Sea?
Historians look at the extensive archaeological evidence found in Egypt for the relevant period. For Egypt to have lost a very substantial number of slaves and then an entire army in pursuit of them, there must be a mention somewhere in the archives. Yet, although we have numerous letters, commercial contracts and royal records, and although we know much of the minutiae of life in Egypt, there is no direct or even indirect suggestion of the event, even if the numbers of Hebrew slaves was greatly exaggerated in the Bible. Now, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that there never really was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. And without an Exodus, there is no puzzle regarding the parting of the Red Sea - it simply did not happen.

How did weather conditions help Moses cross the Red Sea?
The Bible presents the crossing of the Red Sea as a miracle, so we should not look for natural explanations that detract from that miracle. Either accept the biblical story as it stands, or look to scholars and scientists for the explanation of that story. And the explanation of scholars and scientists is simple - it did not happen. Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Either way, weather conditions have nothing to do with the story of Moses crossing the Red Sea.The story of the Sea of Reeds, in which a wind is supposed to have parted the waters of a shallow waterway (not the Red Sea), is dubious at best, and merely a distraction.For more information on the Book of Exodus, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-exodus
