The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be real: the next week and a half is a total flop at Egypt Beach. We’re staring at a long flat spell with nothing but ankle-biters and closeouts. The water’s at 67°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so bring the thick suit.
The first bit of actual swell shows up on Saturday the 22nd. We get 3ft waves from the east with a short, weak 8-second period. The combined energy bumps to 110 (moderate), but it’s still junky. Saturday morning has a cross-offshore wind at 15 mph, keeping it semi-clean, but the afternoon turns onshore and messy. Not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 23rd is the only real chance. The swell backs down to 2ft from the east, with a slightly longer 9-second period. The morning has a fresh cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph, so it’ll be choppy. But the afternoon is the winner: the wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a light offshore touch from the NE, and the waves are 2ft and clean. The energy drops to 56 (weak), but that glassy surface makes it the best we’ve seen all stretch. It’s surfable, just ordinary, but the conditions will be pristine.
For beginners, this is tiny and safe. But if you want power, look elsewhere. The short period means it’ll be soft and crumbly. The break is consistent, so you’ll get waves, but they won’t be memorable.
Bottom line: the whole 16 days is a bust. The only real standout is that Sunday afternoon glass-off. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else.

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.
