The Lowdown
Alright, crew, same story, just in feet and degrees Fahrenheit. This sixteen-day window is mostly a dead zone—hardly anything worth paddling out for. From August 27th all the way until the morning of September 11th, it’s flat as a millpond. The waves are so small you’d need a magnifying glass to see ’em. The swell barely gets past shin-high for weeks, and where there is a bump, the wind’s usually messing it up or there’s just no umph behind it. It’s a proper drought, and talkin’ about it gets a guy a little down.
The one bright spot—and I mean the only one—lands on Friday, September 11th, at Egypt Beach. Come morning, you’ll find a clean 4ft swell out of the east, with a 7-second period and a light cross-off breeze—so clean you could eat your lunch off the surface. By the afternoon, it jumps to a solid 5ft from the ESE, still with a 7-second period, and the wind stays light and cross-off. That’s the cleanest, most lined-up stuff of the whole forecast. The combined energy hits 305 (moderate wave energy), which is the most juice we see. For sure, the standout. This spot is beginner-friendly, consistent, and open to northeast swells, so an east and ESE direction fits it like a glove. Water temp’s around 68°F, which is average for this time of year—nothing weird.
Before that? Honestly, there’s nothing. From August 27th through the morning of the 11th, you might see a 0.3ft glassy morning on the 31st, but that’s a paddle pool, not surf. A couple afternoons in early September have offshore wind on the 3rd, but the swell is only about 2ft—enough for a foamie maybe. All the rest is either too small, blown out, or both. Energy values sit in the single digits or low double-digits—weak, weak, weak. The kite boarders might get a thrill on the windier days, but for us surfers, it’s a sit-and-wait game.
Save your energy, your wax, and your stoke for that one session on September 11th. It’s not a bombora, but it’s the only wave in town. Clean, rideable, and a sweet reward after a long, flat stretch.

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.
