The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple weeks at Egypt Beach are lookin’ pretty grim for a proper paddle session. The whole run is plagued by either tiny surf, funky winds, or just plain messy conditions. Don’t get your hopes up for any real standouts, but there is a flicker of light right at the tail end.
We kick off with nothing worth wettin’ a wetsuit for. Sunday the 13th through to Friday the 18th is a write-off – we’re talkin’ flat to knee-high slop, mostly cross-onshore or onshore winds, and weak energy. The swell is all under 3 ft, periods are short and fat, and the combined energy barely cracks 100 (mostly in the 10–79 range). It’s just poor surf, day after day.
Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th stay small and uninspiring – 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly onshore or cross, still poor. Monday the 21st brings a bit more size with a 3 ft NE swell but it’s accompanied by a strong 25 mph cross-onshore – total mess. The next few days through to Friday the 25th are more of the same: tiny, windy, and mostly blown out.
Now, here’s the one glimmer. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th – that’s the best we’ve got. On Saturday the 26th, we see clean conditions with a moderate offshore wind (W at 12 mph, then 9 mph). Swell bumps to 2 ft–3 ft from the east with a period of 8–9 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 74–90 (moderate wave energy). Not huge, but clean and surfable. Sunday the 27th is actually the pick: a 3 ft east swell with a solid 10-second period and clean offshore to cross-off winds from the WSW–W. The energy jumps to 162–174 (moderate to strong) – that’s the best energy of the whole outlook. Water temp is 66°F, which is about 1°F warmer than normal – nothing crazy, just a touch mild for this time of year.
But then Monday the 28th? The wind swings back cross-onshore and the quality tanks again. So really, if you’re keen, circle Saturday the 26th and especially Sunday the 27th on your calendar. That’s the only window where you might find a few clean, rideable waves. It’s still not a big swell, but for a beginner spot with consistent breaks, it’s your best bet.
Stay patient, check the forecast again closer to the date – things can shift.

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.
