The Lowdown
Alright, this is a pretty tough one to call, folks. Rusty here. I've stared at the charts for Egypt Beach and, well, I've got to be straight with you – there's hardly a ripple to get excited about across the entire 16-day window. We're looking at a long, flat spell here.
The water's sitting at a pretty average 68°F for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your toes off if you decide to go for a swim.
Starting from Tuesday, August 25th, it's all tiny, weak stuff. We're talking waves around 0.7ft to 1ft with combined energy readings that are barely registering – mostly in the teens and twenties (16–39). The swell direction is a bit all over the place from the E and ESE, but it doesn't matter because there's just no power. The wind is mostly light and cross-off or cross, which would normally be good news, but these waves are so small they're just not surfable. The report keeps calling it "poor surf conditions," and I can't argue with that.
As we roll into September, the first week of the month is more of the same. Tiny waves, low energy, and a mix of onshore and cross-shore breezes that will keep things bumpy. The energy values are still pitifully low (3–34). By Monday, September 7th, we do get a brief bit of offshore wind in the afternoon from the WSW at 12 mph, and the swell ticks up to a measly 1ft from the E with a period of 9 seconds. That's the cleanest the surf will be, but it's just not enough to push you into a wave. The total energy is only 20, so it's a glassy pond, not a surfable wave.
The entire period is a bust. The only positive is that the wind is often light, so if you absolutely have to be in the water, you'll have a nice paddle on a flat day. But for actual surfing? There's nothing here. I'd be looking at the long-range models and hoping something changes, because this kind of dry spell can't last forever. For now, stay home, wax the board, and wait.
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.
