The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let's break down what's happening at Egypt Beach over these next 16 days.
Honestly, it's a rough start. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through the rest of the month, we're looking at tiny surf – nothing over 1ft – with a short period from the ESE. The wind is all over the shop, and the wave energy is pathetically low (less than 40 combined). It's just not worth getting wet. That's a solid week of nothing good.
The first real glimpse of anything happens on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning is glassy, with a light NNE breeze, and the swell jumps to 4ft from the NE. The period is short, only 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit soft and won't have that long-lines feel. The combined energy hits 123 (moderate), so there's some push, but it's only good for the early session before the wind turns onshore. Because the swell is over 5ft? No, it's under, so it's fine for intermediates, but the short period won't make it pretty.
Friday the 4th of September morning also has glassy conditions with a light SSE wind, but the swell falls to 3ft from the ENE at 8 seconds. The combined energy is 96 (weak-moderate). Surfable, but average.
There's another window on Saturday the 5th of September morning with a clean cross-off breeze from the NW and 3ft from the E at 8 seconds – combined energy of 111 (moderate). Again, it's rideable for a beginner, but the swell direction isn't lining up perfectly with the NE optimum for the break.
Sunday the 6th of September morning has dead calm winds and 3ft from the E, but the energy is only 84 (weak).
So, the standout is definitely the Thursday morning, 3rd of September. It's the biggest swell, glassy conditions, and the direction is closest to what Egypt Beach wants. But it's a short period swell, so it won't be that classic wall. The rest is a waiting game. There's a chance of something on Thursday the 10th of September morning with 4ft from the ENE at 7 seconds and combined energy of 156 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore from the NNE, so it won't be clean. That one's a long way off, so don't bank on it.
It’s a flat spell for an area that doesn’t often get much. Small, weak, and messy. Best to sit this one out and wait for a better swell.
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.
