The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, but maybe leave the wetsuit at home for a little while. This is Rusty, and I've got the lowdown for Egypt Beach.
Right now, we're looking at a real flat spell. The water's sitting at a balmy 69.3°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get this time of year, so that's a nice bonus if you're just floating around. But for catching waves? Forget it.
We’re in a dry patch for the next several days. From the start of the forecast up through the morning of Saturday, the 5th of September, it's just small, weak, and messy. You're looking at tiny swell with barely any energy behind it – we're talking combined energy values from 3 to 49, which is nothing to get excited about. Winds are onshore or cross-shore, and the period is short and weak. It's a complete blank run for paddle surfing.
Now, things get a little more interesting on Saturday afternoon, the 5th of September, but only if you're an expert. The swell jumps up to 4.9ft from the NE, but combined energy hits 167 – that's moderate power. The problem? It's got a 6-second period and fresh cross-shore winds that will make it lumpy. It's poor surf quality. I wouldn't rush out.
Sunday the 6th of September looks even more powerful but just as ugly. The swell pumps up to 7.2ft from the NE, cranking that combined energy up to 698 – strong wave energy. But the period is still short at 8 seconds, and we've got fresh cross-onshore wind. That's going to be a washing machine. This setup is way too big and messy for beginners, and honestly, with that wind, it looks more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
There is one moment that might give you a glimmer of hope. It's not a standout, but it's the closest we get. On Monday morning, the 7th of September, the swell drops to a more manageable 3.9ft from the ENE. The wind goes light and variable from the north, and we get that 11-second period which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is still at 313, so there's some push. The report says "marginal surf" and gives it a score of 1 out of 10. That *nearly* offshore wind could offer a few cleaner lines early, especially if you’re an experienced surfer who can read the lump, but don't expect a classic session.
The rest of the outlook from Monday afternoon all the way through Sunday the 14th of September is more of the same: flat to tiny, poor conditions, and weak energy. There’s a small bump on the 14th of September with 4.3ft from the NE, but it’s paired with light rain and onshore wind, so the quality is shot.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, Egypt Beach is a write-off for quality surf. Keep the wax in the car for now.

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.
