The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I’m looking at the next 16 days for Egypt Beach, and it’s flat as a pancake. There are no good days. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions. I can’t pick a standout because there isn’t one.
Starting Sunday, August 30th, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ESE with a 8 second period. The combined energy is only 9, so it’s really weak. Winds are cross-off, but it’s just not enough. Monday, August 31st drops even lower, with a 0.3ft swell and a glassy morning, but the energy is a measly 3. It’s hopeless.
We go through the first week of September with hardly any change. The swell never gets above 3ft, and the period stays short, mostly 5 to 6 seconds through the 5th. The wind does turn offshore on the afternoon of September 3rd, with a 3ft ESE swell and 64 energy, but it’s still just surfable, very ordinary. Same for the morning of September 5th, with a 2ft east swell and 51 energy, clean cross-off wind, but far from good.
The weekend of September 6th and 7th shows a bump to 4ft and 4ft from the ENE, with energy hitting 108 and 168, but the wind is a strong cross-shore or cross-on, making it lumpy and choppy. The period jumps to 11 seconds on September 7th, which is a longer period, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, ruining it.
From September 8th onward, it’s back to tiny, weak swells. September 13th has a 0.3ft east swell with a 10-second period, but the energy is only 3. It’s just not happening.
Water temperature is about 69°F, which is a touch warmer than normal, but that’s the only thing above average.
There are a lot of gaps with no surf to speak of. The whole run is a blank. This area can be like this, and right now the forecasts are just showing a flat, poor run. Keep an eye on it, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
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.
