The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Egypt Beach is a tough one. We’re staring down a 16-day window with barely a whisper of real surf. The pattern is flat, with tiny, weak swell and a whole lot of nothing. There’s a big gap right from the start with no real surf to speak of, and it’s not until the very end, on Friday, the 31st of July, that we finally see a tiny flicker of hope.
Right now, and for the bulk of the next two weeks, we’re stuck with scraps. The waves are tiny, mostly 0.6 ft to 2 ft, with short periods that don’t have any punch. The combined swell energy is weak, often in the single digits or low double digits (like 10 to 70). The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-shore or onshore, making it a choppy, messy affair. It’s a stretch to even call it surfable for a beginner. The water is a chilly 63°F, which is 4°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll feel that bite.
The one standout, if you can call it that, comes on the afternoon of Friday, the 31st of July. The swell is still tiny, only 1 ft, but it’s coming from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape than the rest. The combined energy is still low at 42, but the wind finally swings to a light offshore from the WSW, which will clean the surface up. It’s the only time in the whole forecast we see a "surfable" comment. It’s beginner-friendly size, but the break is exposed and consistent, so expect a few small, clean lines. It’s not going to be a classic day, but for this stretch, it’s the best you’ll get.
Honestly, for the rest of the run, the conditions are so poor with small, weak swell and onshore wind that this beach setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a bleak run, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on 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.
