The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Egypt Beach. I’ve had a good look at the next 16 days, and I’ll be honest, it’s a tough watch. The whole run is a flat spell, with no real surf to get excited about. There’s a big gap from the start all the way through to the end of the outlook with nothing worth paddling out for. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just goes to sleep.
We start off on Friday, 31st July, with a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE, but it’s got a short period of just 6 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. The water is sitting at 66°F which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 2°F off the mark. The combined energy is a weak 45, and it’s just poor surf conditions. That pretty much sets the tone.
The whole first week is a write-off. Swell barely scrapes 2ft, periods are short, and the wind is never on our side. Even on Tuesday, 4th August morning, when it goes glassy, the swell is only 1ft with a pathetic 9 energy. It’s not surfable. The pattern continues into the second week. There is a moment on Sunday, 9th August afternoon with a 2ft swell from the south and a strong cross-offshore wind, but that period is a tiny 3 seconds. That’s just wind slop, not a wave. The combined energy is a measly 8.
For the rest of the run into mid-August, it’s the same story. Tiny bumps, onshore or cross-shore winds, and energy values that never get into double digits. Nothing is consistent. For an area like this, a blank run like this is more normal than not, so don’t be surprised. It just means the forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on offer for a surfer.
If you’re desperate for a session, keep an eye on the clean conditions on some mornings, but even then, the waves just aren’t there. This setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, and that’s the truth.
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.
