The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have an honest look at what’s coming up. Honestly, this is a tough one to write. The next 16 days at Egypt Beach are looking pretty bleak for any kind of proper surf. The finder isn't giving us a single recommendation, and when you dig into the numbers, you can see why.
We’re staring at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The first 12 days are basically a wipeout. Swell heights barely tickle 2 ft, and the combined energy is laughably weak, sitting in the single digits or low teens for the most part – we’re talking energy readings like 9, 7, 10, even down to 2. That’s barely enough to stand up on. The swell direction is mostly out of the ESE or SE, which isn't ideal for this spot, and periods are short and choppy, mostly between 4 and 9 seconds. No grunt, no push.
There’s a little glimmer around Monday the 4th of August. Tuesday the 4th afternoon, we get a glassy moment with offshore wind from the SW at just 3 mph. The water is clean, but the swell is only 0.7 ft from the ESE, and the energy is a pathetic 7. It's a flat, pretty looking pond, not surf. Then on Thursday the 13th of August, the morning shows a glassy surface again, with 1 ft swell from the ESE and energy of 12. It’s the biggest ripple of the whole run, but still, it’s barely a ripple. The wind is light from the north, glassy conditions, but the waves just aren't there.
Water temperature is noted for the first day, the 1st of August, at 65°, which is 4° colder than normal – a much colder than average start to the month.
In short, there’s no standout, no session worth paddling out for. For a spot like this, a completely blank 16-day run isn't unheard of. It’s just one of those spells where the ocean shuts down. Hang the board up, clean your wetsuit, and wait for the next system to breathe some life back into it. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty out.

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.
