Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about this region. Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for anything worth paddling out for. There’s just no decent surf on offer, and the wind is a constant problem, almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore, which is just going to chop everything up.

Wednesday morning the 26th of August kicks it off, but it’s a joke. The swell is tiny, a weak 3ft from the NNW with a short, gutless 6-second period, and an onshore wind of 12 mph. The combined energy is a measly 58—that’s not even enough to get excited about a ripple. The water is a balmy 84°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, about 4°F above normal, but that’s the only interesting thing about it.

The whole first week is a write-off. Thursday and Friday are just as poor, with the swell barely pushing 3ft. Saturday morning the 29th sees a slight bump to 4ft from the NW, but the wind is howling at 16 mph onshore, and it’s still a short-period windswell. The energy is 179 (moderate), but the comment says it all: poor surf conditions. By Saturday afternoon, the swell gets to 6ft, energy jumps to 388 (moderate), but that onshore 19 mph wind is going to make it a washing machine. That’s too big for beginners anyway, and with those winds, it’s not even for the experienced.

Sunday the 30th pushes the swell to 7ft, the biggest of the window, with a period of 9 seconds and energy hitting 814 (strong). But again, the onshore wind is 12-19 mph. This is a classic case where the setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The beach break is just going to be a mess of blown-out, lumpy lines.

There’s a tiny glimmer on Monday morning the 31st, with the swell dropping to 4ft and the wind easing to 9 mph onshore, but it’s still poor. The “marginal” comment on the 31st morning and the 1st of September morning is just a tease. The 1st of September morning has a slight cross-on wind, but the swell is a pathetic 3ft.

After that, from the 2nd of September right through to the 10th of September, it’s a desert. The swell stays under 3ft, the period is short, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy drops to two-digit numbers, often below 50. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. The break, Agami, is described as “rarely breaks,” which is normal for this area, and this forecast is a perfect example of that. It’s a blank run, and it’s not unusual.

So, the honest truth? Don’t bother. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s nothing here for a surfer. Keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d be finding something else to do.

Rusty.
