The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window where the surf just doesn’t show up. It’s a long, flat spell.
The first thing you need to know is that there’s nothing worth paddling out for right now. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor conditions right through the end of July and into the first few days of August. The only break on the map is Egypt Beach, but it’s going to be a quiet one.
For the first week, from Sunday 19 July through to Thursday 30 July, the swell is tiny. We’re talking about waves that are 0.3 ft to 2 ft. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, chopping it up. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 5 and 39, which is just not enough to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about 0.9° cooler than usual – nothing major, just a typical summer feel.
The only tiny flicker of hope comes on Thursday 30 July afternoon. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ENE with a clean cross-off wind and the energy reading hits 67. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we get, and it’s nothing to write home about.
From Friday 31 July onward, it’s back to flatness. Glassy mornings on the 31st and 2nd of August, but with swell dropping to 0.7 ft to 1 ft, it’s just a lake out there. The energy readings are in the single digits or low teens – 6, 12, 14. There’s nothing to ride.
If you’re a beginner, there’s literally nothing to practice on. The swell never gets above 5 ft, so it’s not too big for anyone, but it’s simply not there. The few times the swell nudges up, the period is short – around 4 to 6 seconds – so it’s weak and gutless. This is a classic flat spell for the area. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, you just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
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.
