The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve looked at the next 16 days. Honestly, mate, it’s a rough stretch. There’s no standout session at all. The swell is small, the winds are mostly messy, and the energy is low.
Egypt Beach is the only spot on the list – consistent and beginner-friendly, but the forecast is a real letdown. The water temp is 68°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
We start Wednesday, August 19th, with tiny 1ft ESE swell and a 6-second period. The combined energy is weak (15), and while the morning is glassy with light SW winds, the waves are just too small. Thursday the 20th is glassy again but still 1ft to 1ft – poor surf. Friday the 21st gets a cross-on breeze, and the swell stays tiny at 1ft, 8-second period. Saturday and Sunday are bigger but ugly – onshore winds, short period, nothing to get excited about.
Then there’s a gap. From Monday, August 24th, through to Thursday, August 27th, it’s all poor surf. The days are marked by small 0.7ft to 0.3ft waves and cross-off or cross-on winds. The swell energy is barely registering (5 to 20). Not worth paddling out.
On Thursday, August 27th, we finally see a pulse – 5ft E swell, 6-second period, but it’s cross-shore with fresh winds at 30 km/h. The combined energy bumps to 127 (moderate), but the quality is poor. Friday, August 28th, still has some energy (4ft ENE, 7-second period, energy 127) but the wind is cross-off and fresh. It’s clean but the waves are short-period and messy. For a beginner spot, this is getting a bit too big and lumpy, maybe more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The last bit of hope comes on Sunday, August 30th, with a 3ft NE swell, 5-second period, and clear skies with light NNW winds. The combined energy is 45 (weak). The morning is clean, but the waves are weak and short. The guidance says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – it’s the best we’ve got, but that’s not saying much.
After that, it’s back to tiny surf and onshore winds through to September 3rd. The whole 16 days is a blank run with no real swell. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.
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.
