The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I'm gonna level with you. For the next week and a half, Egypt Beach is a flat, blown-out mess. We're talking tiny, weak waves, and mostly cross-onshore junk. It's a real bummer, and there's a solid gap from now until the end of August where you wouldn't even bother paddling out. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with values like 14 to 43, which is just sad.
The only glimmer of hope, and it's a long shot, shows up on the very last day of August, the 31st. We've got a pulse of swell coming in from the ENE at 5ft to 5ft. The combined energy jumps to 180-233, which is at least moderate. The period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, so it's windswell, not a groundswell. But here's the kicker: on the morning of the 31st, the wind is swinging cross-offshore with a light breeze, keeping things clean. It's not a classic, but for a break that's been dead for weeks, it's suddenly the only game in town. It's a beginner-friendly spot, so that 5ft swell might be a little much for the absolute newbies, but it'll be fun for the rest of us.
Then, right after that, on the morning of September 1st, we get a glassy session. The wind is calm, absolutely calm, and the swell is still a solid 4ft from the NE. The combined energy is 161, right in that moderate zone. The period is still short (7 seconds), so expect lumpy, peaky waves, but with zero wind, it'll be the cleanest surf we've seen all forecast. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So, to be honest, the standout is the morning of the 31st of August, with that clean, cross-offshore wind and the first real swell. The 1st of September morning is a very close second for the glassy conditions. Don't get your hopes up for anything else. The rest of it is a write-off. If we get a sniff of a better swell, the forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
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.
