Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s get into it. This is a tough one, I’m not gonna lie. The 16-day window for Agami is looking pretty grim for paddling. There’s a real lack of surfable energy, and when we do get a pulse, the wind’s usually on it or the swell is just too weak. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a bit of a weird one.

We kick off from Tuesday, the 8th of September, but it’s a total write-off from the start. There’s a weak NW swell, 3ft, with a short period of 7 seconds, and a moderate onshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is pitiful at 96 (weak), and conditions are just poor. That trend pretty much holds all the way through to the 21st of September. We’re looking at a gap of pretty much two weeks with no real recommendations. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 3ft, with periods that rarely go above 6 seconds, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing right into the break. Even the few cleaner moments, like the morning of the 18th with a light cross-offshore, only have a 0.3ft swell – not worth the wetty.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the morning of Tuesday, the 22nd of September. The wind goes glassy, and the swell picks up a little to 4ft from the NNW with a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (142). It’s surfable, but it’s still ordinary. The best of the whole run looks to be the morning of Wednesday, the 23rd of September. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the NNW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 565 (strong). The wind is light and cross from the NE. That’s the standout. But here’s the thing – with a 6ft swell, it’s getting into that zone where it’s probably too big for beginners, and for the rest of us, the afternoon wind is forecast to be a moderate cross-onshore, so you’ll want to get out early. It’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed.

Agami is a rarely breaks spot, and this outlook explains why. The setup isn’t great for paddle surfing overall; if the wind picks up and the swell is hitting the beach, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.
