The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for the Egypt Beach area.
It's a pretty grim stretch for the next two weeks. The first real chance of a wave doesn't pop up until the beginning of September. From now through the end of August, it's a long, flat, and windy drought. The 22nd of August shows a tiny 3ft easterly windswell with a cross-breeze, and it just stays that way for days. The swell barely gets over 2ft, and when it does, the wind is usually onshore or cross-shore. It's a proper dead spell.
The first slight glimmer is on the 4th of September, Friday morning. The swell climbs to 4ft from the ESE, but it's blowing cross-onshore, and the combined energy is a moderate 202, so it's still messy. Not the one to get excited about.
The real standout, the one you're waiting for, is Saturday the 5th of September. Saturday morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a solid 358 (moderate wave energy), and the best part is the wind is dead calm – glassy. For a beginner-friendly spot like Egypt Beach, 5ft is a fun, manageable size, and with zero wind, the surface will be like a sheet of glass. This is your window. The water is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Egypt Beach is a consistent, exposed beach break that does well with east swell. The optimum swell direction is from the NE, and the Saturday morning swell is from the ENE – right in the sweet spot. Crowds can be *sometimes* a problem, but for a glassy Saturday morning, it'll be worth it. The offshore wind is from the W, so it's a clean cross-offshore setup. The period is short at 7 seconds, so the waves will be a bit sectiony and close together, not a long period groundswell, but that's normal for a beach break. The afternoon turns ugly as the wind swings onshore, so get on it early.
The rest of that first week of September is a dud. The 6th shows a drop back to 2ft with clean conditions, but it's just too small.
So, to put it plain: the next two weeks are mostly a waste. Don't bother until the 5th of September. That Saturday morning with the glassy conditions and a solid 5ft swell is your only real shot. Get after it.
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.
