Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s happening at Agami over the next 16 days.

To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t even show up until the morning of Monday, 11 August, and even then it’s only just scraping by. Before that, we’ve got a solid gap of nothing worth paddling out for – from now right through to the 10th, it’s all poor surf conditions with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell.

The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a small comfort.

Now, Monday 11 August morning. That’s the standout, if you can call it that. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and that’s a big deal. You’ll find 3ft of swell coming from the NW with a period of just 7 seconds – short period, so it’s a bit of a windswell, but with zero wind on the water it’ll be clean. The combined energy is only 79, so it’s weak, but it’s surfable. The break is exposed to the north, and the optimum swell direction is from the north, so that 3ft from the NW is close enough to work. The swell is small, so it’s fine for beginners. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have company.

After that, the rest of the forecast is a write-off. Winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, the swell stays small and weak, and the energy barely cracks 100. There’s a brief flash of moderate energy on Saturday 8 August – 124 – but that’s paired with poor conditions, so it’s more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle one. Agami is a rare break, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary for this area.

Honestly, I’d keep an eye on the forecasts. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and things can turn around. But for now, the only session worth a look is that glassy Monday morning.
