The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the coast. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s a real slow burner. The first week and a half is pretty flat, but there’s a late pulse that might just save us.

For the first several days, from Wednesday the 26th of August right through to the 5th of September, it’s a write-off. Tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The energy is barely registering, often down in the double digits, and the swell is just a measly 1 ft to 2 ft if we’re lucky. It’s not worth paddling out for. The winds are messy, with cross-on and onshore breezes, and even the glassy moments don’t make up for the lack of any real push. You’re looking at about a ten-day gap with no real surf on offer.

Things start to shift around the weekend of the 6th of September. We get a bump in size, but it comes with a big caveat. The swell picks up to 5 ft to 5 ft on Saturday and Sunday the 6th and 7th, coming from the NE and ENE. The period climbs to 10 to 11 seconds, which is solid groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 163 (moderate) on Saturday, then really cranks up to 485 (strong) on Sunday morning. That’s a lot of power in the water. But the problem is the wind. It’s blowing straight onshore from the East, at 12 to 13 mph. The break is Egypt Beach, and it’s exposed, so that onshore wind is going to chop it up badly. That’s why the forecast is calling it poor surf. For a beginner spot, that 5 ft swell with onshore wind is going to be messy and tough. For a more experienced surfer, it’s just not clean. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.

The standout window, and the only real reason to get excited, is the week of the 7th to 9th of September. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft – 4 ft, which is much more manageable. It’s still coming from the East, with a period of 10 seconds, so it’s a decent groundswell with good shape. The combined energy is still pumping, with readings of 234 to 309 (moderate to strong). The water temperature is about 68°, which is normal for the time of year.

Now, the real game-changer here is the wind. On the 9th of September, Wednesday morning and afternoon, we get a clean offshore wind from the West and WNW, blowing at 13 mph. That’s a proper offshore, grooming the waves. The swell is 3 ft to 2 ft, and it’s coming from the East, which is the optimum swell direction for Egypt Beach. The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but with that offshore wind, it’s going to be much cleaner than the data suggests. For a beginner-friendly spot like Egypt Beach, that’s a rare treat. The waves might be small, but they’ll be clean, lined up, and fun. The crowds are "sometimes" a factor, so you might have some company, but with the offshore wind, it’s worth it.

So, the best on offer is definitely Wednesday the 9th of September at Egypt Beach. The swell is small at 3 ft from the East, but the 13 mph offshore wind from the West will make it glassy and clean. It’s the only window in the whole 16 days where the conditions align. The 7th and 8th are marginal, with the 7th having a light cross-on breeze and the 8th being choppy, but the 9th is the one to circle.

For the rest of the run into the 10th, the swell fades and the wind goes cross-off, so it’s back to the quiet life.

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.
