The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked at the charts for Egypt Beach. Let me tell you straight up, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The whole 16-day run is looking flat and nothing’s really lining up for a proper surf session.
The water here is 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing unusual there.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday morning, August 20th, you’re looking at tiny 1ft waves from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak (12). It’s glassy, but that’s about the only good thing. The rest of August and into the first week of September is just a long string of small, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The swell barely gets above 3ft, and the period is short, all under 8 seconds most of the time. The combined energy stays in the low double digits, well under 100. Honestly, it’s more of a lake than a surf break.
There’s a gap of about a week and a half where there’s just nothing to recommend. From late August right through to the end of August, it’s all poor conditions.
The only glimmer I see is on Wednesday morning, September 2nd. The swell picks up to 3ft from the NE, with a period of 5 seconds. The energy is still weak (49), but it’s technically surfable. The wind is light from the NNW, which is offshore here, keeping it clean. The catch is it’s a short period swell, so the waves will be a bit weak and mushy, but it’s the best in a very flat period. After that, it’s back to poor conditions.
So, if you’re desperate, the morning of September 2nd is your only real option. But honestly, it’s a pretty poor run. This spot is usually consistent, but this stretch is a real dud. For paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. If you’ve got a kite, you might find some fun on the bigger afternoons, but that’s about it.

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.
