The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this is a tough stretch for Egypt Beach. We've got a long, flat spell to kick things off, so don't even bother waxing up for the next week and a half.
Look, early on, you're looking at knee-high dribble at best. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the 18th, it’s just tiny, weak energy rolling in. The swell height is barely a ripple, mostly around 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy is pitiful, usually single digits or low teens – it's just not worth getting wet. There's a sniff of some clean conditions here and there, like the glassy spell on the 11th afternoon or the 12th morning, but with no swell to push it, it’s flat calm. Honestly, don't hold your breath.
Now, we do start to see a pulse of swell heading into the last week of the forecast period, but it comes with some serious strings attached. The first bit of real hope shows up on Saturday the 19th morning. We’ll see a chest-high 4 ft NE swell pushing in. The period is short though, a windswell at 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and fat. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 121, so there's some push. The wind is glassy and offshore from the ENE, so it should look clean. That tiny window is the only time you might get a fun little bank if the sand bars are kind. The afternoon goes straight to hell with cross-onshore chop.
After that, it’s back to tiny slop for a few days. The morning of Sunday the 20th has a strong, clean offshore wind from the NNW at 19 mph, but the swell is all the way back down to just 2 ft. The windswell is short-period, so it's basically a blown-out knee-high lake.
So here's the bottom line: the one and only standout in this entire 16-day window is the Saturday morning of the 19th. Egypt Beach will have a clean, glassy dawn with a 4 ft NE swell. It's a windswell, so the shape won't be world-class, but with no crowds being reported and clean conditions, it's your best bet. For the rest of the fortnight, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. It’s a full-on wait.
Stay patient.
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.
