The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at the local surf for the next couple of weeks around Egypt Beach.
Right now, things are looking pretty flat and quiet. We're going to have a real dry spell on our hands for the first week or so. The swell just isn't there, and what little we get is weak and short period, making for some pretty average conditions. For the next several days, there's not really any surf worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 69°F for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We start to see a slight pulse of energy coming in around Monday the 31st of August. The late afternoon session actually turns glassy with no wind, and we get a tiny 0.3m wave, which comes out to about 1 ft. The swell period is a very long 16 seconds, which gives it some shape, but the energy is still low (57). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Then, by the start of September, things get a little more interesting energy-wise but messy. On the morning of Tuesday the 1st, the swell jumps to about 5 ft from the NNE with a short 6-second period, bumping the energy up to (175), but the onshore wind ruins it. The next day, Wednesday the 2nd, is a bit cleaner than the rest, with a cross-off breeze cleaning up that 5 ft swell from NE (period 7 seconds, energy 207). It's still not great, but it's the closest we get to a decent wave in this whole run.
After that, the swell stays in the 3 ft to 5 ft range for a few days with moderate energy (hitting 337 at one point on the Thursday morning), but the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. A lot of those sessions look way more appealing for kite surfing than for a traditional paddle session, especially with the strong cross-shore winds.
All said, this is a lean period for Egypt Beach. There's no standout day where it all clicks together for a proper session. We get a little bump in size and energy, but the wind just never seems to cooperate.
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.
