The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be real here. Egypt Beach is in a proper drought. We’ve got a whole bunch of days ahead with next to nothing on offer. From the 8th right through until the 22nd, it’s a wasteland. We're talking knee-high slop at best, with most days showing puny 0.3ft to 0.6ft waves. The energy is pathetic, stuck in those weak single and low double digits, like (3) or (8). You’ll be doing more floating than surfing. Some days have clean, offshore winds to make it look pretty, but it’s still just a lake out there. Don’t get fooled by the good conditions on the 9th or the 14th; there’s simply nothing to ride.
To make matters worse, the water is sitting at 67°, which is running a bit colder than usual for this time of year. Keep that in mind if you’re prone to getting chilly.
The light at the end of the tunnel is Saturday, the 23rd. The forecast finally shows a pulse. A strong offshore WNW wind is expected to blow, and the swell actually starts to show some life. The morning brings the swell up to a more promising 3ft from the ESE, and the energy kicks into moderate territory at (99). It’s a big step up from the previous days. The afternoon is the real winner though. The swell bumps up to a solid 3ft, still from the ESE, and the energy climbs to a more respectable (139). With that fresh offshore wind keeping the faces clean, this is the best we’re going to get over this whole 16-day stretch. It should be a fun, user-friendly size for the beginner crew.
But remember, this is a long way out. Next Saturday is over a week away, so don’t book your day off work just yet. Treat it as a promising idea, not a certainty. The swell period is a bit short at around 9 seconds, so it won't have that heavy, groundswell push, but it’ll be a fun, clean wave. After two weeks of flatness, this is the one worth waiting for. Until then, keep the boards in the car and the wax in the bag.
Rusty out.

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.
