Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.

To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. There’s no standout surf, just one brief moment that’s *almost* worth a look. After that, it’s a long, quiet grind.

The only break on offer is Agami. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the north, so it picks up anything with north in it. The water’s sittin’ at 83°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.

The best chance for a paddle comes on Thursday, 30th July, in the afternoon. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell, period of 8 seconds, with a moderate onshore wind from the NW. It’s not clean, but the combined wave energy hits 244, which is moderate. The report says “poor surf conditions” and gives it a zero, so don’t get your hopes up. It’s really just the biggest lump of the whole forecast.

Friday morning, 31st July, sees a similar-size swell, 5ft from the NW again, with a lighter onshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph. The combined energy is 234. It’s still messy, and the tide might throw a spanner in the works.

Then it all falls apart. Saturday morning, 1st August, the swell drops to 3ft from the NNW, period down to 7 seconds, but we get a moment of glory: glassy conditions with a WNW wind at only 3 mph. The wave energy is a weak 96. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s the cleanest we’ll see, but there’s barely any push. If you’re desperate for a longboard session in small, clean slop, that’s your window. Crowds are possible here.

From Saturday afternoon onwards, it’s a slog. The swell hovers between 2ft and 4ft, nearly always with a cross-onshore or onshore wind. The wave energy stays in the weak to low-moderate range, mostly between 23 and 124. The report consistently says “poor surf conditions” and scores it a zero until the very end.

There’s a long gap after Saturday morning, 1st August, with nothing worth recommending. The swell fades to a pathetic 0.7ft by Thursday morning, 13th August, with a combined energy of just 4. That’s flat. Agami rarely breaks as it is, so this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area.

Honestly, if you’re keen on getting wet, Saturday morning 1st August is the only real call. It’ll be clean but tiny. For the rest of the 16 days, save your energy. The conditions are mostly cross-onshore and choppy, and the swell is too weak for a proper ride.

Keep an eye on the sky – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Rusty.
