The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, but this time in feet.
Let's be real about Egypt Beach for the next couple of weeks. There’s not much to get excited about for paddle surfing. From now right up until the morning of Saturday, September 26th, it’s a wasteland. We’re talking nearly two weeks of tiny, choppy, onshore junk. The water temp is normal for the season, so no surprises there, but it doesn't help the wave situation.
Your first real crack at a wave comes Saturday the 26th of September. That morning, the wind goes glassy—dead calm. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the east, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the total energy is weak (83). It’s surfable only because it’s glassy. That's the only positive.
Then, on Sunday the 27th of September, there’s a bit more hope. The morning shows a 4ft east swell with a period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of 429 – that’s a moderate amount of power. The wind is clean, blowing cross-offshore from the southwest. A longer period like that on a beach break can make it a bit straight, but it’s clean and bigger than anything we’ve seen. It’s still considered “marginal” surf, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. Expect a few other locals out there, as it’s a consistent spot for beginners.
A blank run like this isn’t unusual here. When it’s flat, it can stay flat, but you never know when a forecast shifts.
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.
