Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a long stretch with hardly anything worth paddling out for. From Sunday the 30th right through to the 7th of September, it’s looking pretty gutless. There’s swell, but it’s weak, short-period windswell with a lot of NW wind on it, which just chops everything up. Not a lot of hope in that department.

You’ll see a little bump on Tuesday the 8th, but it’s only marginal. We’re looking at some 6.6ft with a 9-second period, so there’s a bit of push, but the energy is still moderate (683). The winds are cross-onshore which ruins the party. It’s a far cry from clean.

The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 14th of September. That’s when we should finally see something with a bit more grunt. The morning is looking like 6.6ft at 9 seconds from the NNW with light cross-onshore winds, which is workable. But the afternoon is the go. Swell jumps to 7.2ft at 9 seconds, still from the NW, with a strong moderate energy score (743), and the wind goes straight onshore. Now, that wind isn't perfect, but with that much juice, Agami (Red Sea) will have some proper waves. It’s a beach break, and a long-period groundswell is better on a point or reef, so we might see it close out a bit. Still, it’s the most size and power we get all fortnight.

Before that, there's a lesser, but promising window on the 8th. As I said, it's worth a look, but the 14th is the day I’d be saving my energy for. It's over a week out, so keep an eye on the charts, but as it stands, that’s your best bet.

That water’s running much warmer than usual for this time of year, around 84°, so it’ll be a warm one if you’re in it.

So, be patient. This is a waiting game. The surf will come back.
