The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and sit down for this one. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for you, mate. The forecast for Egypt Beach is a long, flat stretch of nothing much. Honestly, it’s a tough read.
If you’re looking for waves, you’re looking at a blank run for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you can’t even blame it on a weird cold snap. The swell just isn't there.
The first few days are a write-off. From Wednesday the 19th right through the weekend, the surf is tiny, weak, and gutless. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely hitting 1 ft to 1 ft. The wind is all over the place, but even on the rare glassy morning, like Thursday the 20th morning, there’s just no energy in the water to work with. The combined energy reading is a pathetic 12 (moderate energy is typically 100-999), so you know it’s flat.
You’ll see a few more promising days pop up around the end of August and into September. Around Saturday the 29th of August, the swell actually tries to build, with a 5 ft ENE swell (moderate energy of 149) and a 4 ft ENE swell on Sunday the 30th (moderate energy of 188). But don’t get excited. The wind is on it, straight from the east or northeast, making it cross-onshore and choppy. The wave quality is still rated as “poor surf conditions” across the board. The swell period is a short 6-7 seconds, so it’s just messy, wind-affected slop.
For an exposed beach break like this, that ENE wind is a killer. It just blows the top off any chance of a clean wave. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem session. The only consistent thing is the inconsistency. For the area, this kind of blank run happens, but it still stings. If you’re desperate, you might find something to bodysurf, but for a proper surf, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast.
This is Rusty, signing off. Better luck next time.

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.
