The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s get into it. Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days for Egypt Beach, and it’s a tough one. The whole window is a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’ve got a bare bones, flat spell stretching from the end of July all the way through to mid-August. There are no real standouts, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of nothing.
The pattern is grim from the start. Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, we’ve got a tiny 2 ft easterly swell with a short, weak 7-second period. The combined energy is a measly 40, and it’s coming in with a strong cross-shore wind from the south at 16 mph. The water is 65°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. It’s messy, it’s weak, and it’s a no-go.
Wednesday and Thursday bring a bit more size, but it’s all wind-affected junk. We see the swell bump up to 5 ft and even 7 ft on Thursday afternoon, with the combined energy kicking up to 343. But the wind is a mess—onshore or cross-onshore, blowing hard from the ENE and NNE at 12 to 25 mph. The period is short, just 6 to 7 seconds. This isn’t surf; it’s a washing machine. If you’re into kite surfing, the wind and chop on Thursday afternoon might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
After that, it’s a slow bleed into flatness. From Friday, July 31st, onward, the swell drops below 3 ft, and by the time we hit August 1st, we’re looking at 1 ft and 0.7 ft slop. The combined energy falls into the single digits and low teens. The wind is light and variable, but there’s simply no wave energy to work with. The little bumps we get on August 3rd and 4th are a pathetic 0.3 ft, even if the wind is clean and cross-offshore. The swell direction is from the SE, which is almost the opposite of the optimum NE direction for this spot.
We’ve got a run of nearly two weeks where the best you can hope for is a knee-high ripple with a clean surface. The swell is too small and too weak. For a spot that is usually consistent, this is a real drought. The forecasts can change, but right now, there is nothing to get excited about.
This is a hard one to swallow, but sometimes the ocean just shuts down. Hang tight, and check back in a few days.

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.
