The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Egypt Beach. I’m looking at the whole 16-day run, and it’s a brutal stretch. There’s not a single good wave in the forecast. Every day is a flat, lifeless mess. The combined energy numbers are all weak, mostly single-digit values (3 to 38), so there’s no power behind anything.
The water temp this morning is 65°F, which is about 4°F colder than it should be for this time of year. That’s a cold bite you’ll feel if you’re dumb enough to paddle out.
Monday the 3rd starts with a risk of thunderstorms and a stiff 22 mph cross-off wind, pushing a tiny 2ft southeast swell with a 5-second period. Energy is only 24, and the surf is trash. Tuesday the 4th brings a clean offshore breeze from the west at 6 mph, but the swell drops to 0.7ft. Energy is just 9. It’s a waste of time.
We get a glassy morning on Sunday the 9th – dead calm, zero wind – but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft from the southeast. There’s nothing to ride. This pattern holds all the way to Tuesday the 18th. The longest period we see is 14 seconds on the 13th, but it’s attached to a 0.3ft wave, so that long-period groundswell is completely useless. The best energy we get is 38 on Tuesday afternoon the 4th, and that’s still weak.
Egypt Beach is a consistent beginner spot, exposed to the northeast, so it usually picks up something. But this run is a total dud. No standouts, no reason to paddle out. Offshore winds show up a few times, but without swell, it’s just a clean flat ocean. A kite surfer would have nothing to do either. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but for now, save your energy.
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.
Egypt Beach is 2 km (1 miles) from Scituate. If you plan a vacation in Massachusetts, look for hotels and other accommodation in Scituate. Scituate has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
