The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and sit down, because I’ve been staring at the charts for Egypt Beach, and the truth is… it’s a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s mostly flat and messy. For the first several days, starting now, there’s barely a ripple. The first few days are a write-off – tiny, weak swell with onshore winds making a mess of things. You’ll be waiting a while.
The only real pulse of energy hits around the 6th of September. Sunday morning into the afternoon, we get a bump of swell from the northeast, pushing 5 ft to 5 ft. The combined energy jumps up to 231 to 234 (moderate wave energy), which sounds promising, but the wind is a problem. It’s cross-onshore – a moderate to fresh breeze – and that’s gonna chop it up. The wave comment says it’s poor surf conditions. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that 5 ft+ swell is getting too big for learners, and the chop will make it ugly. Honestly, with that much wind and a beach setup, it might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. From the 7th onward, we’re back to tiny, weak waves – mostly under 2 ft – with energy dropping into the double digits. There are a few clean mornings, like the 9th and 10th, with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. Later in the window, around the 14th and 15th, we get a tiny bit of 0.7 ft groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, but the energy is pathetic (7 to 12). It’s clean, but it’s not surf.
The standout here? There isn’t one. The best of a bad bunch is probably the 6th of September, but only if you’re desperate and don’t mind the wind. For a consistent spot like Egypt Beach, this is a long, dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right 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.
