The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, we’ve got a long, dry stretch ahead. For the first 12 days, from now until around the 18th of August, there’s really nothing to get excited about. The swell is almost non-existent, with tiny 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft waves and very weak energy levels (3 to 8 in the combined energy). It’s flat, mate. Even with some clean, offshore winds on the 9th, 11th, and 12th, there’s just no wave to ride. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.
Things finally start to show a pulse on the 19th of August. The morning at Egypt Beach sees a glassy, offshore wind from the W at 3 mph, with a small 2 ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is a weak 75, so it’s barely surfable, but it’s the first sign of life. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind, but the 20th brings a bit more size, hitting 3 ft from the E by morning and 6 ft from the E in the afternoon, though the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not great.
Now, for the standout. Mark Friday the 21st of August on your calendar. The morning session is looking like the best of the whole run. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the E, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the NW at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a solid 295, meaning moderate wave energy to work with. This is the one to aim for—clean, glassy conditions with a bit of push. The afternoon gets shredded by 12 mph cross-onshore wind, so get in early.
The 22nd is still rideable, with a 4 ft swell from the ENE in the morning, but the wind is cross-off from the SSW, which should keep it clean enough. The combined energy drops to 194, so it’s decent but not as good as the previous day.
All in all, the only real standout is the morning of the 21st. Everything before that is a waiting game.
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.
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.
