Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the Agami outlook for you. Let’s cut to it—this is a 16-day window, but right now the truth is there’s no good surf on offer. The first record is September 13, and from that point all the way through to September 28, it’s a painful stretch with no standout options. The swell is small, the wind is messy most of the time, and the combined swell energy stays weak—mostly two-digit numbers like 27, 20, 11, and so on, barely ever cracking triple digits until later, but even then the conditions don’t line up.

Starting off on September 13 and 14, we’ve got tiny swell around 1 ft to 2 ft from the NNW, period short at just 5-6 seconds, and cross-onshore winds making it choppy. Combined energy is in the teens to low 20s—nothing to get excited about. September 15 is similar, 2 ft to 2 ft, still poor. September 16 shows a little flicker: clean conditions in the morning, light cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph, with 2 ft swell from the NNW at 6 seconds, combined energy 41, but the waves are “surfable but very ordinary.” Still, that’s the best you’ll see in the first week—a tiny glimpse of something rideable but nothing to call a standout.

September 17 through 19 are all poor surf conditions again—swell stays under 2 ft, winds are onshore or cross-onshore, energy in the teens to low 30s. On September 17 morning it’s glassy clean but swell is only 2 ft from the NNW, period 6 seconds, energy just 18—barely a ripple.

September 20 to 22 sees a slight bump: the swell builds to 4 ft to 4 ft from the NNW, period still short at 6-7 seconds, and combined energy climbs to 94, then 126, and 122. But here’s the problem—every one of those is flagged as “poor surf conditions” with onshore or cross-onshore winds from the NNW at 9 to 16 mph. The waves are there, but they’re chopped-up mush. Not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate.

September 23 onward it fades fast—swell drops to 2 ft or less, energy in the 20s and 30s, and by September 24 we’re at 0.7 ft, energy 6. September 25 has an offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, but swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft with a period of 4 seconds—just a flat clean surface. September 26 has 19 mph winds and zero swell. The rest of the month is similar: tiny swell, poor conditions.

Honestly, I can’t highlight any break here. Agami itself is a beginner spot that rarely breaks, and in this window it almost never delivers. No standout, no hidden gem. The combined energy never hits a moderate or strong level—the highest I see is 126 on September 21 morning, but the wind kills it. If you want to surf here, you’re going to be sitting on a flat, choppy lake most of the time. For kitesurfers, the stronger winds on September 20-22 with 4 ft to 4 ft sloppy swell might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this run is a blank. It’s not unusual for this area—sometimes the forecasts change, but for now, best to wait.
