Agate and Pearl Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what Agate and Pearl Street has cookin’ over the next couple weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run for the most part. A little bump of energy shows up now and then, but conditions keep throwing curveballs. Not a total disaster, but you gotta be real picky.

We open Monday the 24th with some tiny swell around 2ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds. Water temp is 73°, which is *way warmer* than usual for this time of year – almost 6° above normal. That’s a huge standout, but the waves just aren’t there to enjoy it. Light offshore wind in the morning from the WSW keeps it clean, but combined energy is only sitting at 333, so it’s marginal and weak.

Tuesday the 25th is still tiny, 2ft or so, with light offshore wind in the morning. The period hits 16 seconds, but at this size, you’re just waiting forever for a ripple.

Wednesday the 26th shows a little more push – swell hits 4ft, combined energy jumps to 660. But the wind is cross-onshore from the S, light but enough to mess up the face. Swell period at 12 seconds gives okay shape, but the wind direction ain’t right for this reef. Thursday is more of the same, around 3-4ft with cross-shore wind and some chop.

Friday the 28th gives you a window – morning looks clean with light offshore W wind and a 3ft SSW swell, period a long 17 seconds. Combined energy moderate at 390. It’s small, but if you’re patient, you might snag a fun one. That glassy morning is the best of this first week.

Saturday the 29th has a little more size, around 4-4ft from the SSW, and Saturday afternoon the wind goes light offshore from the WSW, combined energy building to 773. Could be the best of the weekend, but period drops to 16 seconds. Sunday the 30th gets chopped by a moderate SSE breeze, so that’s a write-off.

Then we hit a real quiet spell. From Monday the 31st through most of the following week, swell sits around 3-4ft, with spotty offshore winds, but quality stays marginal. Energy builds again toward Thursday the 3rd of September – we see 3ft with a 19-second period and combined energy at 697, with light offshore wind. Long period again, so expect long lulls.

Friday the 4th of September pushes up to 4ft with 17-second period and combined energy at 906 – the strongest energy of the whole forecast. Winds are light and cross-offshore in the morning. This could be the best session, but the swell direction is SSW and this reef likes it from the W, so not a perfect fit.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September hold decent size around 4ft, but winds go cross and cross-onshore, keeping things messy. From the 7th, it’s more of the same – marginal, nothing special. Your best bets are those mornings with light offshore wind and the few bigger energy windows.

Overall, nothing really fires here. The water is crazy warm, but the waves stay small and the wind rarely plays ball. If you’re desperate, aim for Friday 28th morning or Friday 4th of September morning, but don’t hold your breath. The rest of the time, you’re better off on the beach with a cold one.
