The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Egypt Beach over the next 16 days. I’ll be straight with you – the outlook is pretty flat. There’s nothing in the data that suggests a decent session, with the forecast showing poor surf conditions across the entire period. The combined swell energy is weak, always below 100 (mostly single digits or low teens), so it’s a long stretch of small, weak waves. The water temperature here is 65°, which is 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so you’ll want a thicker suit.
The first week is a write-off. From Saturday 1st August right through the end of the first week, you’re looking at tiny swell heights of 0.3ft to 1ft, with periods mostly under 9 seconds. Winds are a mix of glassy and offshore at times, so it’s clean, but with no push behind the waves, it’s not worth paddling out. The best of a bad lot might be Monday 3rd August morning, with a glassy 1ft from the SE and a period of 8 seconds, but the energy is still only 18 – that’s barely a ripple. The second week follows the same pattern: tiny swell, poor quality, and no real energy. The biggest swell shows up on Friday 14th August afternoon with 3ft from SSE and a period of 5 seconds, but the energy is still only 37, and it’s cross-on wind. That’s about as exciting as it gets, and it’s not exciting at all.
Bottom line: Egypt Beach is a consistent beginner-friendly spot, but it’s not breaking properly for the entire 16-day window. There are no standout days, no real groundswell, and nothing to get excited about. This is a blank run, which is more normal for the area when the swell is this stubborn. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, you’re better off doing something else.

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.
