The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where you might wanna take up fishing for a fortnight.
Right now and for the next week and a half, it’s flat to tiny at Agami. There’s simply no decent surf on offer. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with no real recommendations for a good paddle out. The swell just ain’t got the energy, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever weak bump there is. The limited wave energy during this period stays in the weak range (values as low as 0.1 ft to 3 ft). It’s a blank run and for this area, that’s pretty normal – the forecasts can change quick though, so don’t bin your boards just yet.
Now, if you’re a glutton for punishment or just want a look at the ocean, there’s a flicker of life right at the tail end of the forecast. Let's talk about Friday the 28th of August.
Come Friday morning, we finally see a bit of a pulse. Swell size bumps up to 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps into the moderate range (269 ft). It’s still an onshore wind, so it won’t be clean, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. That trend continues into Saturday the 29th with similar 5 ft swell from the NNW and solid energy (278 ft), but again, that onshore wind is gonna mess with the shape. This swell is starting to push into the size that’s not great for beginners, but for any expert out there just desperate for a wave, it might be the only game in town, even if it’s rough.
The water temperature has been a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 84°, with an anomaly of 3°. That’s a little reminder that the ocean’s still holding its summer warmth.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout here. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. If I had to point to one moment, it’s that Friday the 28th morning through Saturday the 29th morning when the energy finally shows up. But don’t expect perfection.
Stay patient, check the charts again in a few days, and maybe keep the kite gear handy if the wind stays up – this setup might be more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.
Keep the wax warm,
Rusty

Information about the Agami Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Agami provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Agami can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Agami surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Agami) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Agami may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Agami is 16 km (10 miles) from the city of Alexandria. If you plan a holiday in Mediterranean Coast -Egypt, look for hotels and other accommodation in Alexandria. Alexandria has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
