The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coast is in a proper flat spell. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. There’s nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for, so if you’re itching for a wave, maybe give the board a wax and wait.
The only spot in the mix is Egypt Beach, and it’s a consistent, exposed NE-facing beginner break with a W offshore. The water is sitting right on the seasonal average at 68°, nothing unusual there. But the swell… it’s tiny. We’re looking at weak combined energy all the way through – figures like 23, 28, 49, and only very briefly nudging into the moderate range around 3rd September, where it hits 172 but still with poor surf conditions. Even then, the swell height barely scrapes 2 ft to 3 ft, with periods mostly short, between 8 and 14 seconds. The wind is often okay – some glassy moments on the morning of the 26th August, with a WNW 5 km/h, and a few offshore stints – but with next to no swell, it’s clean but flat. The best wave energy shows up around 3rd to 6th September, with combined energy peaking at 220 on the 4th September morning, but that’s paired with a strong 45 km/h cross-off wind and light rain. Swell height is still only 2 ft. It’s just not happening.
Honestly, there’s a big gap of no-quality surf from now right through the entire 16 days. The break is consistent, but the swell is not. It’s a blank run for the area, and it’s not unusual here. Keep an eye on it, but for now, save your energy.

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.
