The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what Egypt Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is marked as poor surf, so we're looking at a real quiet period.
The water temp is sitting around 70°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there in terms of warmth.
We kick things off on Thursday the 13th with nothing rideable. Thursday afternoon through Friday is all tiny 0.3ft slop, with cross-off winds keeping it clean but with zero push. Saturday the 15th shows a tiny bump to 1ft from the NNE, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and we've got cross-shore to cross-on winds—definitely not worth paddling out for.
The pattern stays flat and weak through the rest of the first week and into the second. There’s a brief moment early on Wednesday the 19th with glassy conditions and a 0.7ft, 11-second period groundswell from the ESE, but that combined energy is a measly 12 (weak). Clean face, but no power to ride.
As we head into the third week, around Monday the 24th we get some clean cross-off winds with 0.7ft, 12-second period groundswell from the east. The combined energy sits at 22 (still weak), so while the conditions are clean, it’s barely a ripple.
The only real uptick comes late in the run. On Thursday the 27th, we see a jump to 4ft from the ENE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 99 and 114 (moderate energy). However, the winds are cross-on or onshore, making for a choppy, bumpy face. That size is pushing beginner limits (over 5ft in some spots), but with the short period and messy wind, it’s really only for the keen or those looking for a beat-down. The swell direction (ENE) is off from the optimum (NE), so it won't set up right at Egypt Beach.
Real talk: there are no standout sessions here. It’s a flat spell with a couple of hopeful bumps that never fully deliver. Even the bigger late-period swell is let down by wind. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards 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.
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.
