The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you about the next couple of weeks here at Egypt Beach. It's a bit of a quiet stretch, so we have to be patient.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's a real lack of any decent surf. The first recommendation doesn't come until Monday, August 3rd, and even then it's nothing to write home about. We're looking at a gap of about 11 days with no real surf on offer, just tiny, weak waves and poor conditions.
Thursday the 23rd through to the end of July is pretty much a write-off. Most days we're looking at tiny swell around 1.0 ft to 1 ft, mostly from the ESE or SE, with a short period. The wind is usually onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, ranging from just 8 to 37, so there's nothing pushing through.
Now, Wednesday the 29th of July sees a spike in wind, but not in a good way. We get a 4 ft swell from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 148, which is moderate, but it's coming with a strong 25 mph N wind. That's a strong cross-shore making it lumpy and messy. For a beginner spot like this, those conditions are a hard pass. It's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
The first real highlight, and honestly the only one, is on Monday, August 3rd. In the morning, we get a small 1 ft swell from the ESE, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, which is a nice long period for a spot like this. The wind is glassy, and the combined energy is still moderate at 42. It's surfable, and the glassy conditions will make it clean. It's still tiny, but it's the best we've got. The morning of Friday, August 7th, is another mention. A 2 ft swell from the E with a 7-second period, combined energy of 44, and a moderate offshore wind from the WSW. That will be clean, but still small.
The water temperature on the 23rd was 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, but that's just the start of the window.
To sum it up, Egypt Beach is a beginner-friendly spot that's consistent, but it's going through a flat spell. The best chance for a paddle is the glassy morning of Monday, August 3rd, but keep your expectations in check. The forecast can change, so don't write the whole window off yet.

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.
