The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Egypt Beach. Gotta be straight with you: the ocean is basically flat and the wind is a headache for most of the run. The water temp is sitting around 71°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Right now, from Friday the 14th through most of the following week, we’ve got a long stretch of barely any surf. The swell is tiny, often pocket change like 0.3ft to 2ft, and the period is short, so there’s no push at all. The combined energy is weak, usually in the single digits (2 to 10) – that’s barely a ripple. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things messy and choppy. It’s a tough watch.
We get a little bump of hope on Friday the 21st, when the swell nudges up to 4ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s the biggest we’ll see, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, and that will make it lumpy and hard to enjoy. The energy climbs to 103, which is moderate, but it’s not clean. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
After that, it’s back to small and messy for the rest of the month. A few mornings later in the week, like the 24th, 25th, 26th, and 28th, we get some clean cross-offshore winds which tidy things up, but the swell just isn’t there – it’s 0.7ft to 1ft with very weak energy. The glassy morning on the 19th was a tease, but again, no swell to ride.
Bottom line: There’s no standout session in the next 16 days. The surf just isn’t happening. Egypt Beach is famously consistent, but we’re in a flat spell. Keep your board ready – forecasts can always change, and it won’t stay like this forever.
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.
