Egypt Beach is a surf spot that appeals to many surfers looking for a consistent beachbreak experience. It's a popular location, so you can expect it to be crowded at times. The beach features a sandy bottom, which makes it a comfortable place to ride some waves. To access the beach, you’ll need a residential permit, as parking can be tricky.
The surf at Egypt Beach is generally best when the swell is coming from the east, with decent action also coming in from the northeast and southeast. It handles swell sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and can get pretty punchy as long as you're surfing during low to mid tide. You might catch both left and right waves here. While the SW wind works fine, overhead swells can be less ideal, making it important to time your visits with the right conditions.
Since Egypt Beach tends to draw a crowd due to its consistent waves, be prepared for some competition in the water. Finding a parking spot can be a challenge, as options are limited to residential permits or a few meters of street parking. Just remember that surfers often have to snake for space, both in the lot and in the water.
