Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty miserable stretch for Agami. The next week-and-a-half is basically a write-off. The swell never gets its act together, the wind is almost always wrong, and the only real surf window we get is a tiny one about 10 days away. Let’s get into it.

The whole run from now through to Saturday, 16 August, is a total dud for Agami (Egypt). We’re looking at tiny wave heights, mostly around 1 ft to 4 ft, with weak combined energy – mostly in the teens or low double-digits (16 to 120). The wind is onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time, making it lumpy and choppy. Periods are short, between 4 to 7 seconds, so it’s all junky windswell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.

That Sunday, 16 August, shows a small bump – swell hits 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW with energy climbing to 261 and 356, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore with a moderate breeze. It’s messy and the forecast is only marginal at best. That’s not our day.

The one true standout, and really the only time to even think about it, is the *morning* of Monday, 17 August. We get a clean, glassy setup – the wind goes glassy, which is huge for this place. Swell will be 5 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and moderate energy of 219. The conditions are described as glassy, so it’ll be smooth and clean. This is the best we’re gonna get. The crowd situation at Agami can be “sometimes” busy, but with a rare good window like this, expect a few heads out. This swell is beginner-friendly at 5 ft, so it’s a solid option for most.

After that, it falls apart again. Tuesday through Friday sees the swell drop back to 3 ft to 4 ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The energy drops back into the double-digits (96 to 134). The very last morning on Friday, 21 August, we get another glassy moment with a tiny 3 ft NW swell, but it’s just ordinary.

Bottom line: we’ve got one clean morning on 17 August. That’s your window. Everything else is junk. This is a rare, blank run for this area, so don’t be too surprised – it’s normal for Agami to go quiet for long stretches.

Rusty.
