The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for our stretch of coast, and I’ve got to be straight with you: we’re looking at a long, flat spell for the next couple of weeks. The swell window is just about shut for any real surf. There’s nothing that’s going to get your heart racing, and honestly, there’s not a single day in the next 16 that I’d call a standout. It’s a grim outlook, plain and simple.
The good news? The water temp is sitting at 71°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a normal, comfortable summer ocean. But that’s where the positives end.
We start with a real dud. For the first week, from Friday the 14th right through to Thursday the 20th, we’re looking at almost nothing. Swell heights are stuck at a pathetic 0.3ft to 0.7ft with weak energy readings (10, 6, 3 – that’s barely a ripple). The winds are all over the place – cross-off, cross-on, some onshore – but it doesn't matter because there’s no wave to shape. It’s just flat and messy. You’d be better off finding a pool.
There’s a tiny pulse of energy over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. Saturday afternoon we see a bit more life with 4ft of short-period swell (5 seconds) from the NE, and energy climbs to 90. Sunday morning keeps that going with 4ft but it’s crossed up with a cross-shore wind. However, this is short-period windswell, and it’s going to be choppy and junky at the beach. With these sizes and the wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddling day, to be honest. This poor-quality, onshore slop won’t offer a single clean wave.
After that brief tease, it drops right back down to nothing for the following week. The 24th has near-flat conditions again. The 25th has some clean, offshore winds, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s not worth the paddle. It’s just a glassy pond. The rest of the month through to the 29th is a write-off, with heights barely breaking 1ft and weak energy readings across the board.
I know this is hard to hear, but sometimes the ocean just gives us nothing. The good news is that this stretch of coast is generally consistent, so a blank run like this doesn’t usually last long, and the long-range models can change. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the horizon, but don't get your hopes up for the next 16 days. There's just no surf on offer.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
