The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up – this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for our local stretch.

Alright, let’s be straight with you: the next two weeks are a bit of a write-off for anyone looking for a proper surf. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. The first real blip of energy doesn’t show up until the tail end of the first week, and even then, it’s not pretty. The trough we’re in is going to leave us with tiny, weak waves for days on end.

The first few days are dead flat. From Thursday the 27th right through to Monday the 31st of August, we’re looking at knee-high slop at best, with swell energy barely registering (10-30). The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy at times, which would be great if there was any wave to ride, but there isn’t. It’s a straight-up waiting game.

We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell bumps up to a messy 5 ft from the ENE, but it’s short-period windswell (6 seconds) and the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore. The water temp feels about average for the time of year. This pattern continues through the first week of September, with swell building to 6 ft by Thursday the 3rd, and the combined energy climbs into the “moderate” range (up to 298). But the quality is shot – it’s all “poor surf conditions” with a cross-onshore chop. At Egypt Beach, you’d be better off looking for a kite session than trying to paddle into this messy, closed-out slop. The period stays short, so it’s all windswell, no real shape.

The second week isn’t much savvier. The swell drops back down from Saturday the 5th, and the wind stays onshore. By Sunday the 7th we’re back to tiny, weak waves. The only honest standout here is nothing. There is no standout. There’s a tiny window on Friday the 4th of September where the swell hits 6 ft from the east with a slightly longer period of 9 seconds, and the energy is strong (463). But the wind is still a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and average. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not worth a paddle.

Bottom line: save your wax. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid two-week gap with no decent surf. The water is seasonable, but the waves aren’t there.

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.
