Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the Agami stretch over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough read for this spot.

The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bummer, to be honest. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, onshore-chopped-up waves. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Monday morning, the 10th of August, and even then it’s only a marginal call. Before that, from now through the weekend, every session is rated as poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, coming from the NW or WNW, which just ruins whatever tiny bit of swell is trying to show.

For a spot that already rarely breaks, this is a particularly quiet run. The combined swell energy is very low, sitting in the 30s to 50s for most of the period, which is weak. The swell periods are short, around 6 to 7 seconds, so no real power or shape to speak of.

There’s a glimmer of something on the Saturday morning of the 16th of August. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 93. It’s still a cross-onshore wind from the W at 6 mph, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s the closest we get to a proper look. The water temperature is sitting at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The real standout, if you can call it that, is the Friday morning of the 21st of August. We get a glassy morning with the wind going almost calm from the WNW at 3 mph. The swell is small, only 2ft from the WNW, but the conditions will be clean. For a break that’s rarely breaking, this is about as good as it’s going to get. The energy is still low at 43, but at least you won’t be battling the wind. It’s an expert-only zone due to the inconsistency, so don’t expect a crowd, but don’t expect a wave either unless you’re patient.

For the rest of the window, it’s a waiting game. The swell stays below 3ft, the wind is wrong, and the quality is poor. It’s not looking good for paddle surfing. The setup might be more interesting for the kite surfers when the wind picks up, but for a traditional surfer, this is a period to clean your gear and watch the forecast.

Rusty.
