Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Agami over the next couple of weeks. First glance through the whole window? It’s a tough stretch, mate. We’ve got a long, dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for.

Kicking things off from Saturday the 22nd of August, it’s flat and weak. We’re looking at tiny swells around 1 ft to 2 ft, mostly out of the NNW or NW, with periods of only 4-6 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not real surf. The water is sitting at a warm 84°F, feeling a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. But the conditions are poor, and the wave energy is weak, barely registering in the single digits (9-11). That’s a no-go.

We roll through Sunday the 23rd and into Monday the 24th, and honestly, it’s more of the same. Swell ticks up a hair to around 2 ft, but the period is still short at 6 seconds. Monday morning does see a bit of glassy wind out of the West at 3 mph, but with only 2 ft of weak WNW swell (combined energy 32), it’s just not enough to hold a shape. It’s an optimistic paddle at best.

There’s a gap here with no real recommendation until Saturday the 29th. The middle of the week, from Tuesday the 25th through Friday the 28th, shows a slow climb in swell height, from 1 ft up to 4 ft, and the energy starts to build. But it’s all onshore wind—NW, mostly moderate breezes. The water stays glassy for a moment Thursday morning with a light breeze, but the swell is still short period (7 seconds) and weak energy (111). Not worth changing plans over.

Now, Saturday the 29th of August is the only period worth a mention. We see a jump in swell to 5 ft out of the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 266. That’s moderate wave energy finally. The set-up is still onshore wind, though, so it’s not what you’d call clean. But the morning session (266 energy) edges into “marginal” territory—a sneaky option if you’re desperate. The afternoon drops back a bit. This is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s barely a standout.

After that, it fades again. Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st drops down to 3 ft or less, mostly cross-onshore winds and choppy. Tuesday the 1st of September sees another spike in the afternoon to 5 ft and 217 energy, but the wind is onshore and gusty at 16 mph. It’s not clean.

Then Wednesday the 2nd of September shows the biggest swell of the stretch: 6 ft out of the NNW with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 322. That’s a moderate-energy swell, but here’s the kicker—the wind is howling onshore from the NW at 19 mph. That’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. With the break being exposed and the swell coming from NNW, it’s a mismatch on the optimum direction too. For beginners, 6 ft is pushing it; for anyone else, the wind kills it. The rest of the week into Sunday the 6th of September just drifts away with smaller swell, cross-onshore wind, and poor conditions.

Honestly, there’s only one window worth a look: Saturday the 29th morning, if you’re okay with onshore wind and a bit of a gamble. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. Agami is a spot that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast shows exactly why. It’s just not happening this time.

Stay patient, mate. Forecasts can change, and this area can turn on a dime.

Rusty.
