Egypt Beach Surf Guide
Egypt Beach is located near the town of Scituate, about 15 minutes south of Nantasket Beach, and is another victim of major swell-shadowing thanks to Boston Harbor. It's a flat, sand-bottom stretch of beach that sculpts long but soft waves that are most ideal for longboarding. There are a few scattered rocks along the shorepound, so pay attention.
