The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Egypt Beach over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch for the most part. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 31st of August, so we’ve got a solid 13-day gap of nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole period is filled with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions, mostly choppy or cross-onshore. The combined energy stays low, barely cracking 100 until the last few days. Still, we’ve got a couple of windows that might be worth a look.
The Setup
Egypt Beach is a consistent, beginner-friendly spot, exposed to swell from the NE. The best swell direction for it is NE. Water temp is sitting around 69°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first real standout comes on Monday, 31st August. The morning glass off (NNW, 0 mph) is a beauty. The swell is a small 2 ft from the E, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 82, so it’s not packing much punch, but with those clean, glassy conditions, you’ll be able to snag some fun little crumbly waves. It’s the best of a poor bunch. The afternoon gets choppy, so get your session in early.
End of the Run
The only other bit of interest is on Sunday, 30th August. The morning sees a big jump in energy to 326 (strong), with a 3 ft groundswell from the E and a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, but the wind is a strong cross-shore from the N at 25 mph, turning it into a messy, cross-chop mess. For a beach break like Egypt, that long period stuff from the E will likely break a bit too straight and the wind will ruin it. This set-up looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The afternoon is a bit better with the wind easing, but still cross-shore.
The Final Word
Honestly, it’s a lean run. The surf is tiny and the conditions are mostly average. If you’re a beginner, the 31st morning is your best bet for a safe, clean little paddle. For anyone else, I’d be checking back in a few days – the forecasts can change, and it doesn’t usually stay this quiet for too long.
Stay frothy,
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.
