The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Egypt Beach, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. There’s a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, so let’s get into it.
We start off with absolutely nothing happening. From Monday 24 August right through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.7ft to 2ft – and the wind is all over the place. The combined energy stays weak (44 to 6), and the wave comment is just “poor surf conditions.” It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. The water temperature sits at 68°F which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Tuesday 1 September. The morning shows a little 1.0ft easterly swell with a long period of 15 seconds, combined energy hitting 65 (still weak), and the wind is light. The wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we get, but it’s barely a blip – 1.0ft with a 15-second period is a groundswell, so it’ll be slow and fat, better suited to a point or reef than a beach break. It’s not the kind of day you’d rush out for.
Then we’re back into the doldrums. From 2 September through to 7 September, the swell stays around 1.0ft to 2ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NE, often 12 to 22 mph. The combined energy climbs a bit – 106 to 169 (moderate wave energy) – but the onshore wind makes it choppy and lumpy. The wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” This stretch is more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, with the wind and small, messy waves.
The last real chance comes on Tuesday 8 September. The morning shows 2ft easterly swell with a 10-second period, combined energy at 85 (weak), and offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. The wave comment is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Again, it’s tiny – 2ft – and though it’s clean, it’s not going to be thrilling. The afternoon sees the period drop to 8 seconds, so even less shape.
So, the standout? There isn’t one. The best morning is 1 September and 8 September, but both are just “ordinary” tiny waves. It’s a long, flat patch. That said, Egypt Beach is a beginner spot that’s consistent normally, so it tends not to stay poor for long – forecasts can change. For now, leave the board 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.
