The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's be real about this one. We've got a 16-day window for Egypt Beach, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the surf is a flat-out no-go for the entire period. There's not a single session that gets a green light. The data shows a long run of nothing but poor surf conditions from Friday, July 24th, all the way through to Saturday, August 8th. That's a solid two-week gap with no recommendations.
The problem is a stubborn mix of tiny, weak swell and almost constant onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined wave energy is consistently low, mostly in the teens and twenties (under 100), with a few bits pushing into the 60s and 70s, but even then the wave comment is "poor surf conditions". The swell is mostly from the ESE or E, which is the wrong direction for this exposed spot – it needs a NE swell to really work. The periods are short, mostly between 5 and 7 seconds, so there's no real power or shape behind it.
You'll see a few mornings with light offshore or even glassy conditions, like Sunday, August 2nd, and Wednesday, August 5th, with a WSW wind. But the swell is just too small, barely 1 foot to 1 feet, to make anything of it. It's a classic case of all the ingredients being out of sync. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, for a beach break like this with such weak, short-period swell and persistent side-shore wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the majority of the forecast. There's just no wave energy to work with for a surfer.
Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the charts. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Egypt Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Egypt Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Egypt Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Egypt Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Egypt Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Egypt Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Egypt Beach is 2 km (1 miles) from Scituate. If you plan a vacation in Massachusetts, look for hotels and other accommodation in Scituate. Scituate has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
