Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the menu for our local patch.

Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a pretty lean stretch. We've got a real dry spell here, with only a few windows that are even worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of something rideable isn't until the morning of Sunday the 16th, and it's a marginal call at best. After that, things go flat and messy for a long, long time. The real standout, if you can call it that, is a very brief window on Tuesday the 18th.

Let's start with that bright spot. On Tuesday morning, the 18th of August, Agami sees a tiny pulse of 3 ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at just 99. The real kicker here is the glassy conditions with a light north wind. That's a rare treat for this spot. It's a beginner break that rarely breaks, so to have it glassy is a moment to treasure. The water temp is about average for this time of year. You'll get small, clean, friendly waves. Tuesday afternoon, the onshore wind picks up and ruins it, so you've got a very narrow window.

The week before that, on Sunday the 16th morning, we have a 5 ft, 8-second swell from the NNW. That's a bit more size, but with a moderate cross-onshore breeze, it's going to be fair-to-middling at best. The energy is moderate (294). It's a marginal session for someone who just needs to get wet.

After that Tuesday morning session, it's a long, grim slog. From the 19th of August right through to the 26th, we are looking at either flat, tiny, or blown-out conditions. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell heights drop below 3 ft. It's a solid week of poor surf.

Things get a little more interesting towards the end of the month. On the morning of Thursday the 28th, a bigger swell of 7 ft from the NW rolls in, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 598. But the wind is onshore at 12 mph, so it's a poor, messy, powerful wave. That's a big, choppy closeout for a beach break, and honestly, with that onshore wind, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. It's a windy, lumpy day.

The next morning, Friday the 29th, that size drops off to 4 ft, but the wind is a slightly better cross-onshore. Still, nothing to write home about.

So, to wrap it up: the only true standout is the glassy, tiny, clean window on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. The rest of the 16 days is a real struggle. If you're desperate, the Sunday the 16th morning is a marginal option. The big, messy swell on the 28th is for wind sports, not for clean surfing. It's a tough run, but that's how it goes sometimes.
