Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get right into it.
First up, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you: it’s looking pretty quiet out there. We’ve got a real dry spell coming. The first spot that even pops up with anything to talk about is El Corniche, and even then, it’s not looking great. We’re staring at a long gap of flatness or poor conditions for most of the first week.
Tucked in here, there’s a small window on Tuesday, July 7th, where things might get a bit interesting, but only just. We’ve got a moderate wave energy reading (403) from a NW swell, coming in at 6 ft. That’s a touch bigger, and with a period of 8 seconds, it’s got a bit of punch. The wind that morning is NW at 12 mph which is an onshore wind, so don’t expect perfection. The rating is marginal at best, and the break rarely breaks as it is, so if it lines up right on that Tuesday morning, you might find a few lumpy ones. But it’s a gamble—crowds are sometimes a thing here too, so keep an eye out. The water is much warmer than normal, sitting at 82°, which is over 2° above average for this time of year, so that’s a weird one.
After that, the surf just fades into the background again. The energy dips right back into the weak zone, with waves under 3 ft and short periods of 6 seconds. The entire rest of the week into the next just rolls out with poor surf conditions. Really, the only standouts are that small swell July 7th, but it’s not a day to call in sick for. For the second week, there’s another little blip around July 14th, with some moderate energy (207) and NW wind, but again, the quality is marginal at best.
Honestly, if you’re not desperate, you’re probably better off waiting for a proper swell. This is one of those periods where the forecasts can change, and things often pick up, but right now it’s a flat run.
Stay patient, guys. Rusty out.

Information about the El Corniche Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Corniche provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Corniche can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Corniche 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 (El Corniche) 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 El Corniche 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.
El Corniche is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Alexandria. If you plan a holiday in Mediterranean Coast -Egypt, look for hotels and other accommodation in Alexandria. Alexandria has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
