The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s talk about Egypt Beach. Straight up, this outlook is a long, quiet stretch. We’re looking at 16 days of almost nothing worth paddling for. There’s a big gap with no real recommendations, and the only time things get interesting is a full week and a half away.
For the first two weeks, from Saturday the 12th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a dead zone. You’ll see tiny ankle-snatchers at best, mostly under three feet, with a weak combined energy reading (mostly under 100). The wind is all over the place – cross-on, onshore – keeping the surface messy. There’s not a single highlight in that entire stretch. It’s a flat spell where you’re better off doing something else.
The only window that shows any pulse is on Wednesday the 23rd. The morning session is the one to look at. We get a decent ESE swell pushing close to 4 ft, but look at that combined energy: 320. That’s moderate energy finally showing up, and with a 5-second period it’s short-period windswell, but the wind is a clean offshore breeze from the NW and glassy. It’ll be clean, but it’s not big. It’s still a beginner-friendly (under 4 ft) day. Wednesday afternoon gets bigger at about 6 ft but turns onshore and choppy, so morning is the only call.
After that, Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are blown out by strong winds (28 mph and 19 mph) making it messy, so don’t bother. The final weekend, the 26th and 27th, fades back to tiny, clean but tiny, knee-high slop with weak energy.
So here’s the only standout in this whole 16-day run:
Egypt Beach – Wednesday, September 23rd – Morning. It’s not pumping, but it’s the only time we get a clean, offshore morning with swell over 3 ft and some proper energy (320). The swell is from the ESE, and this spot is exposed to NE, so it’s a little off-angle, but with clean conditions it’ll be the most fun you’ll have. The water’s about average for the time of year with a normal temp anomaly. Expect crowds sometimes, so you won’t be alone. For beginners, it’s just fine. For anyone else, it’s a one-morning wonder in a flat spell.
The rest? A write-off. It’s a long blank run, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change.
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.
