Table - best surf conditions forecast for Egypt Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell ya, Egypt Beach is in a proper drought right now. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, but honestly, the surf is non-existent for almost the entire run. The first recommendation isn’t set to appear until Monday, 21st July, and even that is barely a whisper.
For the vast majority of this period, we’re looking at tiny, gutless waves. From Sunday the 12th right through to the end, the swell height barely ever cracks 2 ft, and for days on end it’s a pathetic 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft. The wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, cross-off – but it doesn’t matter because there’s no energy to work with. The combined swell energy during this flat spell is pitiful, mostly reading in the single digits or low teens (e.g. 9, 13, 3). It’s a real shame because the water temperature is sitting at about 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, so you’d want to be in the water, but there’s nothing to ride.
There’s a long, painful gap of about 9 days with no real surf at all. Then, finally, on the morning of Monday the 21st, there’s a tiny flicker. We see a 3 ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind goes glassy. That’s the single standout of the whole forecast. It’s still only a 3 ft wave, and the combined energy is a weak – but at least noticeable – 72. For a beginner spot like Egypt Beach, that’s the only time it’s even surfable. The wind is glassy, which is a huge positive for a break that is exposed to the east, as it’ll make for clean, smooth little waves. Don’t expect a crowd because there’s been nothing for ages. The rest of the 21st, the wind swings around and chops it up again, and after that it’s back to flatness through to the 27th.
Later in the window, around the 26th, there’s a tiny bump from the SE, 1 ft with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy again that afternoon. The combined energy is 27. It’s a long-range promise, but it’s still tiny. For Egypt Beach, this is a barren run. The forecast tells me this is pretty normal for the area when it goes quiet, so don’t hold your breath.

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.
