Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Agami over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you right off the bat: it’s a lean stretch. The whole 16-day window is a quiet one, with hardly any real juice to get excited about. There’s a pretty big gap of no real surf on offer for the first several days, and then just a few moments of *maybe* something rideable.

The pattern is small, weak, and mostly blown out. The swell is coming from the NW and NNW, which is fine, but it’s small – mostly between 1 ft and 4 ft – and the period is short, around 5 to 7 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not the kind of groundswell that gets your heart pumpin’. The combined swell energy is low, never cracking triple digits for most of the run, topping out at a weak 146 on the morning of Sunday the 16th. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 11th through Saturday the 15th are all “poor surf conditions” with onshore winds. The wind is mostly cross-on or directly onshore from the NW and WNW, making a mess of what little bump there is. You’re looking at choppy, junk conditions.

The one tiny glimmer pops up on Sunday morning, August 16th. We get a little bump in size to 4 ft from the NNW, with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 146 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNW (9 mph), but it’s described as “gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy,” so it’s not really clean. This is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s a weak best. It’s still poor surf, and the break is rare to break anyway, so don’t hold your breath.

Monday the 17th morning and Tuesday the 18th morning are flagged as “marginal” with a light breeze, but the swell is down to 3 ft to 3 ft and the wind is directly onshore. It’s not worth paddling out for.

Further out, the morning of Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th look glassy, with a slight air and zero wind. Flat as a pancake though, with only 2 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period swell. The combined energy is a paltry 23-29. It’s pretty, but there’s nothing to ride.

Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The break is exposed to the north, and the swell is never from the optimum direction. It’s a rare-breakin’ spot, and this forecast confirms why. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions. Keep your board in the car for a better day, or maybe a different spot.

Rusty.
