Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, mate, let’s be straight with you. We’ve got a tough 16-day window ahead for Agami, and it’s a proper slow burn for most of it. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for decent waves. The few tiny bumps we see barely register. It’s not until Thursday the 24th of September that we finally see a pulse of energy, and even then, it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

Starting from the 15th of September, things are flat and frustrating. There are a few glassy mornings on the 16th and 17th with clean conditions, but the swell is next to nothing—just 1.0ft to 2ft with a short, weak period around 5 to 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is miniscule (6 to 24), so you’re basically looking at small, weak, and dribbly drivel. Not worth the effort.

We hit a bit of a bump on the 18th and 19th of September when the swell tries to step up. Friday afternoon sees 4ft of NNW swell, period bumps up to 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 123. Problem is, the wind is mostly on or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be pretty choppy and messy. That trend continues into the weekend, keeping things poor.

The genuine interest starts on Thursday the 24th of September. The swell jumps up, with 6ft of NNW swell and an 8-second period. The combined energy is strong at 432, so there’s some real grunt in the water. But the winds are still cross-onshore on the afternoon, making it messy. It’s a marginal call at best, and definitely a "look but don't expect perfection" scenario.

Now, here’s where we get the one standout in this whole outlook. On Friday the 25th of September morning, things finally align. The swell drops back a touch to a very surfable 5ft from the NNW, period holds at 8 seconds, and the energy is a solid moderate 251. The magic ingredient is the light cross-offshore breeze from the NE (10 km/h). That means clean, open faces. This is your session if you're hunting for anything decent. Clean waves and manageable size. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of September mornings also offer clean surf with cross-offshore breezes, but with the swell height nudging 5ft to 6ft (264 to 284 energy), it’s getting a bit more size for the average punter.

Regarding Agami itself: it’s a beginner break, but it rarely breaks, so the consistency is a major downer. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 83°. If you’re looking at the later mornings (25th to 27th), crowds are possible, so you won't be alone.

After that, it drops off a cliff again into late September. Swell and energy fade away, and we’re back to tiny, weak conditions by the 29th and 30th.

So, the winner here is clear: Friday the 25th of September morning at Agami. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s the cleanest and most user-friendly window we have. The Saturday and Sunday mornings are also decent, but a little more size might push it beyond the easy beginner zone.

Keep the hope alive for that Friday session. The rest you can sleep through.

Rusty.
