The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Egypt Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight with each other – it’s a tough one.
For the most part, this stretch is looking very quiet. The problem is the swell. Most days we're looking at tiny waves measuring in at 0.3ft or 0.7ft, with the odd pulse up to 2ft. The "combined energy of all swells directed here" is almost always under 100 – a sign of weak energy. This is the kind of flat spell that will test your patience. There are long gaps where there’s simply no surf worth mentioning, particularly from now right through to late August.
Even when the size nudges up, the wind is often making a mess of things with cross-shore or on-shore breezes, or the swell is just too small and weak.
Let’s talk about the small highlights. The first real chance for a surf comes on the 28th of August, Friday morning. We’ll see a bit of a pulse of 3ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 6 seconds. "Surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," the notes say. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, keeping it clean. It’s not stellar, the combined energy is only 67, so it’s weak. But it's something. This is a beginner-friendly break, but with just 3ft, it'll be fine for learning.
The other one to keep an eye on is the 29th of August, Saturday morning. The swell drops back to 2ft from the east, with a light offshore from the NNW. It’s only a score of 1 out of 10 for quality, so don't expect much, but it’ll be glassy and clean. For the absolute die-hards who just need to get wet.
That's the story. A long, dry spell followed by a couple of fleeting, clean windows of very small surf. Hand in there.
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.
