The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Egypt Beach.
Honestly, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a bummer. We're staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell. The combined energy of all the swell is barely a whisper, mostly in the single or low double digits, which is as weak as it gets. We're talking tiny, gutless waves.
For the first week, from Sunday the 19th through the end of July, it's a real struggle. The swell is consistently under 3ft, mostly from the east or southeast, with a short period. The only glimmer comes on the morning of Thursday the 23rd, where the swell just hits 2ft from the ESE with an 11-second period, and the combined energy finally climbs to 103. That's the only time we see any real energy. The wind that morning is offshore from the WNW, so it'll be clean, but with that size, you're still hunting for a ripple. The rest of the week is a mix of glassy mornings and choppy afternoons, but the swell is just too small to ride.
Then we hit a proper dead zone. From the 25th of July all the way to the 3rd of August, it's a long, drawn-out stretch of 0.7ft to 1ft slop. The energy is practically non-existent, staying in the single or low double digits. The wind is all over the place, but it doesn't matter when there's no wave. We're looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing to surf.
The water's about 66°F, which is pretty average for the season, so at least a paddle won't be a shock.
If you're absolutely desperate for a surf, Thursday the 23rd before lunch is your only window. The wind is offshore, it's clean, and the swell direction is from the ESE, which is what Egypt Beach likes. But be real, it's a 2ft wave. It's a beginner's wave or a longboarder's dream at best. For the rest of us, this is a blank run. Around here, when the swell goes quiet, it can stay quiet for a while, and that's exactly what's happening.
Keep your chin up. The sea will come back.
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.
