The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Egypt Beach is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the 26th of July, which is over a week away. For the entire first week, the waves are tiny, the energy is weak, and conditions are just plain poor. The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The only standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ll see. That morning, the wind goes glassy – dead calm – and the swell picks up to 5 ft coming from the southeast. The combined energy will be a solid moderate (262). It’s a short-period swell at 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be a world-class wall, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and fun. This is a beginner-friendly break, and with the small size and no wind, it’s a good day to get a few soft ones. Expect it to be a little inconsistent, so be patient.
After that morning, it drops right back off. The second week looks like more of the same – tiny, weak, and mostly onshore.
So, if you’re keen, set your alarm for the 26th of July morning. Otherwise, the kites might have more fun than the paddlers on the choppier days.
Rusty.

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.
