The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with basically nothing rideable for the best part of a week. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you will need patience.
The first real flicker of life shows up on Thursday, the 3rd of September. The morning is the pick of the whole forecast, with a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the southeast. The combined energy is moderate at 314, and with a light SSW breeze holding it cross-off, Egypt Beach will be looking clean. The period is only 6 seconds though, so it’s a short, choppy windswell – not the most powerful, but it’s the only game in town. The afternoon drops off to a smaller 3ft, but it'll still be clean.
After that, things get ordinary again. The following Friday and Saturday see a little bump in energy, but the swell is small and the wind is messy. By Sunday the 6th, it's tiny again. The second week of the outlook is a total write-off, with nothing but knee-high slop and onshore junk. Don't bother marking your calendar.
So, the standout here is simple: Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. That's your only real window for a paddle. It's a brief moment, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
