The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s not a single good surf session on the table in the whole 16-day outlook for Egypt Beach. Not one. We’re looking at a full run of poor conditions, with just a couple of days that barely scrape into the “surfable but very ordinary” category, but even those are nothing to get excited about.
The water’s sitting around 68° – that’s pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. But the swell? Just tiny. Most of the time we’re looking at waves under 2 ft, with weak energy readings – mostly below 30 (combined energy), and the highest we see is 258 on Sunday the 6th of September morning, when a 5 ft NE swell shows up. That sounds like something, but it’s coming with a fresh 30 km/h cross-shore wind, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell period is only 7 seconds, so it’s weak windswell, not groundswell. Not worth paddling out for.
Friday the 4th morning has a moment of glassy conditions with 2 ft from the east, but it’s still rated as poor surf – just too small and weak. Monday the 7th morning offers 3 ft from the ENE with a 10-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze – that’s the closest we get to something you could sit on, but it’s still very ordinary and the energy is only 124 (moderate). That’s the best of a bad bunch.
After that, it fades into nothing. From Tuesday the 8th right through to Friday the 18th of September, it’s almost all below 2 ft, with energy readings in the single digits or teens. There are a few days with clean offshore winds – like Thursday the 17th morning, with 30 km/h offshore and 2 ft from the NE – but the swell is tiny and period is only 4 seconds. Not enough push to surf.
Bottom line: Egypt Beach is a beginner-friendly, consistent spot normally, but this stretch is a total write-off. No standouts, no hidden gems. The setup is more suited to sitting on the sand with a coffee than trying to paddle out. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
