Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Agami. I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t a classic run by any means, but there might be a session or two worth getting wet for if you’re patient.

The water is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is a touch warmer than you’d normally expect for this time of year – a nice bonus when you’re sitting out there.

Right now, we’ve got very small, weak swell and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore most of the time. The first week is pretty much a write-off for decent waves. The first couple of days have tiny 1 ft to 3 ft NW swell with a short period around 6 or 7 seconds and weak energy, usually under 100 (15-109). The wind is mostly onshore and the conditions are poor. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. Agami is a spot that rarely breaks, and this stretch proves it.

There’s a gap of almost no rideable surf until around September 9. On Wednesday morning the 9th, the swell bumps up a little to 5 ft from the NW with a 7-second period, and combined energy hits 217 (moderate). But it’s cross-onshore and choppy, so while it’s marginally better, it’s still not the pick of the window.

The standout, if you can call it that, shapes up on Thursday morning the 10th of September. The swell lifts to 7 ft from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is 564 (strong). The wind is light from the W, making it cross-onshore with small ripples. At that size, you’re looking at solid, powerful waves – probably a bit much for beginners. The period is decent but not super long, which is fine for the setup here. This is the only day where the surf looks like it might actually have some punch. If you’re an experienced surfer and you can work around the slight cross-onshore breeze, this is your morning. It’s not perfect, but compared to everything else, it’s the best of a pretty quiet run.

After that, the swell drops off again. By September 13 and 14, the waves are tiny – 1 ft – but the wind turns offshore from the SSE and SE, so the surface gets clean. Still, there’s almost no energy. September 15 shows a small 4 ft NW swell with a 7-second period and 160 energy (moderate), and glassy conditions in the morning – that could be a sneaky fun little session if the tide works out, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

Overall, this is a long, quiet period for Agami. It rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual. Hold out for that Thursday the 10th if you’re keen for something with a bit of size, otherwise, keep an eye on the charts – things can always change.

Rusty.
