Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Corniche over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into what's on the table for this stretch.
First off, it’s looking pretty grim for a paddle session. The water temp is sittin' at 81.5°°F, which is 3.8°°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s much warmer than usual for the *El Corniche* (Egypt) region, but it won’t stop the surf from being lousy.
We’ve got a long wait ahead. From now through the morning of Wednesday, July 15, the surf is simply poor. The swell is tiny, weak with combined energy barely cracking 33 to 88, and it's all short-period windswell around 5-6 seconds. On top of that, the wind is mostly onshore and on it, so it’s bumpy and messy. Not worth paddlin’ out for.
Wednesday, July 15 shows a bit of a pulse. The morning sees the swell height jump to 5.9 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 388. But don’t get too excited – the wave comment says "poor surf conditions," and with wind hammering on it at 12 mph, it's gonna be a ropy, blown-out mess. This is likely more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only session that even sniffs a chance is the morning of Thursday, July 16. Swell drops to 3.9 ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, energy at 156. The wind is a light breeze from the NW (onshore), and it's marked as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It’s the closest thing to a window we’ve got, but it's still a gamble.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the run through to Saturday, July 25. We see a few days with swell around 3.6 ft to 4.3 ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy never gets strong enough to overcome the chop.
Best on offer: Honestly, nothing is a true standout. If you’re desperate, the morning of Thursday, July 16 is your best bet, but expect weak, short-period waves with onshore wind and questionable tide. Don't expect much.

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.

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.
