Agami Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a seat and listen up, because I’ve been staring at the charts for Agami, and I’ll be honest with you—it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window from now through August 18th is pretty much a write-off. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the wind just won’t play nice. We’ve got a long gap of day after day with nothing worth paddling out for. The first hint of anything even close to surfable doesn’t show up until Monday, August 10th, and even then, it’s a shadow of what we’d call a session.

The water at Agami is sitting at 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but it’s a nice little bonus if you’re in the water.

Now, let’s talk about the only real standout. The best you’ll get is on Monday, August 10th, in the morning. The wind swings around to a light SSW at 3 mph, blowing cross-offshore, which is about as clean as it gets around here. The wave report says “clean,” and I’ll take that. You’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 7 seconds—so it’s weak, combined energy is only 64 (weak), but at least the surface will be glassy. That’s your one chance to get a few fun ones, but it’s strictly for the foamie or longboard, and only if you’re desperate. The break is rarely breaks, so honestly, don’t get your hopes up.

The rest of the month? It’s all onshore slop, cross-on, or straight onshore wind. The swell never gets above 4 ft, and even then, it’s short period and messy. The wind is mostly from the NW or WNW, blowing 6 to 16 mph, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” almost every single session. The only other days that even get a “marginal” or “surfable” tag are a few mornings—like August 11th, 15th, and 17th—but each time, the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. Combined energy stays below 100 the whole time, which is just sad.

If you’re into kite surfing, the consistent onshore wind and those little 3 ft to 4 ft windswells might be more interesting than anything you’d paddle into. But for a surfer? This is a blank run. It’s not unusual for the area to have quiet spells like this, so don’t despair—forecasts can change, and it won’t stay poor forever.

Keep your chin up. Rusty.
