The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down for you in the old measures. It’s been a rough stretch—nothing but flat, poor surf conditions for the full 16 days. The swell just isn’t showing, and the energy we get is barely a whisper. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a weak 7 at the start and only ever climbs to a moderate 38 (July 29th afternoon), but that’s with a tiny 2-foot wave and messy wind. It’s a bit of a dead zone, and that’s not unusual for this area—when the ocean goes quiet, it can stay quiet for a while.
Starting on July 21st, Tuesday morning, we’ve got a pathetic 0.3-foot wave from the east with a 12-second period—decent period, but no size. The wind is a cross-shore from the south at 12 mph, which just adds chop. The afternoon only gets a little bigger to 2 feet, but the period drops to a terrible 4 seconds, and the cross-onshore wind from the SSE at 16 mph makes it a choppy mess. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 22nd sees a slight improvement in wind—cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph in the morning—but it’s still only 2 feet with a 7-second period. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a lighter breeze, but the wave is down to 1 feet. It’s pretty, but not surfable.
Thursday the 23rd stays in the same low-energy rut: 1-foot waves from the ESE with a 10-second period in the morning, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph. The afternoon turns choppy again. The rest of the week and into the next is more of the same—tiny waves, mostly under 2 feet, with periods that rarely hit 10 seconds. The best we see is July 29th afternoon with 2 feet from the ENE at 5 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. For Egypt Beach, it’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with waves this small, there’s nothing to ride. The break is consistent, but the swell isn’t. If you’ve got a kite, you’d be better off—the wind is steady enough for that, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
I’d say it’s a long, flat spell. Check back with me in a few days—forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run. 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.
