The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one for Egypt Beach. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window, and the honest truth is there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the whole period is a write-off for surfers.
We’re looking at a stretch that starts Monday, July 27th and runs all the way through to Tuesday, August 11th without a single decent recommendation. That’s a solid two-week gap with no real surf on offer. The first few days are a battle with a tiny east swell, peaking around 4 ft on Wednesday the 29th, but it’s coupled with heavy rain and a fresh cross-onshore wind that’s just going to chop it up. The combined energy never gets past moderate, barely hitting 117 at its best, and the period is short – around 6 seconds – so there’s no grunt behind it.
The water at Egypt Beach is sitting at 64°F, which is about 4°F colder than it should be for this time of year. That’s noticeably chilly, a real kick in the teeth when the surf is already flat.
We get a few glimpses of clean conditions early in August, like Tuesday morning the 4th with a light cross-offshore wind, and Wednesday the 5th with proper glassy conditions. But the swell is pathetic – 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft from the east. Even with a 10-second period on the 2nd, that’s a groundswell, but it’s too small to do anything. The 5th and 6th see some offshore winds, but the waves are just not there. By Saturday the 8th, we get a bit of offshore wind and a clean look, but it’s a 2 ft swell with a 4-second period – that’s windswell junk.
For a spot that’s exposed to the northeast, the optimum direction is NE, but the swell direction is all over the place – east, southeast, even a bit of south. Nothing lines up. This is a beginner-friendly beach break, but there’s nothing for a beginner to learn on either. Honestly, if you have a kite, this setup might be more interesting than a surfboard, but for paddling, it’s a no-go.
I hate to say it, but this is one of those blank runs that’s normal for the area when the forecast is this stubborn. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t wet a line.
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.
