The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Egypt Beach over the next 16 days. I've gotta be straight with ya – it's a grim run. There's no surf worth paddlin' out for. Not a single recommendation in the whole period, and that's a tough one. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and it's lookin' like a long, flat stretch.
We kick off on Friday the 28th of August with a risk of thunderstorms, a bit of a cross-off breeze, but the swell is a paltry 1 ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 26 (weak), and the wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." It's just not on.
The situation doesn't improve. Saturday morning the 29th has a 1 ft swell, period drops to 7 seconds, energy of 33. Still poor. By Sunday the 30th, it's dropped to just 0.7 ft. It's like the ocean's taken a nap.
Through the rest of the first week and into September, the swell barely twitches. We see days with 0.3 ft on Monday the 31st of August, and even a 1 ft on the 1st of September, but with a period of just 4 seconds – that's nothing but wind slop. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, adding chop to an already flat scene. The highest energy we see is 42 on Saturday the 12th of September, but that's still weak, and the swell is only 1 ft. Even when we get a glassy, calm moment on Monday afternoon the 7th of September, the swell is still a tiny 1.0 ft with a 9-second period. Clean conditions mean nothing when there's no wave to ride.
There's a slight bump on Thursday the 3rd of September with a 3 ft swell from the SE, but the period is a terrible 5 seconds, and it's blowing a fresh 19 mph cross-wind. That's blown-out, lumpy junk.
For the whole 16-day window, every single entry says "poor surf conditions." There's no standouts. The setup at Egypt Beach is a consistent break, but it's just not gettin' any love from the ocean. The winds are all over the place, and the swell is basically non-existent.
So, what a bummer. If you're desperate, you could look at the kitesurfers – with that onshore wind and 3 ft of slop on the 3rd of September, they might have a laugh, but for a surfer? Leave the board in the car. Forecasts can change, but right now, Egypt Beach is a total flat spell.
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.
