The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's talk Egypt Beach. The short story is, the ocean has gone quiet. This whole first part of the outlook – from now through the end of July – is a wasteland of tiny swell. We are talking about waves that are barely a foot, if that. The energy numbers (combined swell energy) are stuck down in the single digits and low teens, like 3 to 13. The wind will be offshore at times, but with zero push from the ocean, it’s just a flat, clean puddle. You’d be better off swimming. This stretch of flatness runs deep until the end of the month.
Things try to wake up at the end of July. On Friday the 24th, the swell bumps up to nearly 4ft from the East in the morning, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it will be weak and lumpy. The combined energy jumps to 87. It’s still a cross-shore wind making it messy. The afternoon gets a little more size – pushing 4ft from the ESE – and the energy hits 188, but it’s still that short, choppy period.
Our one chance for something decent rolls around on Saturday the 25th of July. Look, it’s not going to win any awards, but for this forecast, it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon sees waves around 2ft from the SE. The energy is 46. The key is that the wind goes flat calm – "glassy" – and the water will be clean. The water temp is going to be about what you’d expect. It won’t be powerful with that short 6-second period, but for a beginner spot like Egypt Beach, having clean, small waves is the best hand we’ve been dealt.
Looking into the first days of August, there is a little more size on the 28th with waves around 3ft from the ESE, but the wind is up and cross-shore, so it's not going to be clean. The week after that looks like a washout with rain and onshore junk.
This is a tough forecast for this spot. For a beach that is usually consistent, this is a major lull. The honest truth is, the conditions are more suited for a kite surfer to get out in the afternoon breezes than for someone with a shortboard. For the average surfer, there are only a couple of very small windows to get wet.

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.
