The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, Egypt Beach is lookin’ like a tough stretch. The forecast shows waves barely pushing 1ft to 2ft most of the time, with energy readings stuck in the low digits – mostly between 2 and 37. That’s weak, real weak. The swell direction is almost always from the east or southeast, with periods all over the place, but the size just isn’t there. There are long gaps where nothing’s really surfable. From Saturday the 15th right through to the morning of Friday the 28th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny waves, poor conditions, and a lot of cross-onshore or choppy wind. Not worth paddling out.
Now, Friday the 28th shows a bit of a pulse. The morning brings a 4ft NE swell with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 98 – that’s moderate energy but still weak. The wind is a light cross-shore from the north at 6 mph, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s not blown out either. This is about as good as it gets over the whole 16 days, but it’s still poor surf conditions according to the data. For a beginner-friendly spot like Egypt Beach, 4ft is pushing the limit a little, and with that short period, it’ll be a bit crumbly and hard to catch. The afternoon stays similar but swings onshore, so the morning window is the one to look at if you’re desperate.
After that, Saturday the 29th drops back down to 2ft and weak energy, so that one morning on the 28th is the only real standout, and even it’s nothing to write home about.
Water temp sits around 70°F with a tiny anomaly of 1°F – that’s pretty average for this time of year. No surprises there.
Bottom line: Egypt Beach is in a flat spell. If you’re keen, the morning of Friday the 28th offers the best chance with that 4ft NE swell and light cross-shore wind, but keep your expectations low. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
