The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Bagasse, a reef break that’s exposed to the swell. Gotta be honest, the next week and a bit is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor to marginal surf with persistent cross-off winds from the east, mostly in the 12 to 16 mph range. The swell is hanging around the 3 ft to 6 ft mark, but it’s short-period stuff, under 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak to moderate (311 to 436). It’s just not putting any power into the waves, and the wind is keeping things messy. This run of lackluster conditions looks set to last from the 26th of August right through until the 30th of August.
Now, the real glimmer of hope, and the standout of the whole 16-day window, is Monday the 31st of August. Morning session is the pick of the whole period. The east-northeast swell picks up to a solid 6 ft, but the period jumps to 10 seconds — that’s a proper groundswell pulse. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the south at just 3 mph, which is a total game-changer. The combined energy is a solid 665, which is a strong, punchy amount of energy for this break. It’s going to be clean, glassy, and offering some proper waves. The afternoon on the 31st is still good, with 5 ft swell and glassy conditions, but the morning is the one to lock in. The water temperature feels about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy.
The first week of September then settles back into a more marginal pattern. The first of September has a decent morning with 4 ft swell and a cross-off breeze, but it’s short-period again. From the 2nd through the 7th, it’s mostly 3 ft to 5 ft swell with that persistent east wind, giving us a lot of “marginal” or “poor” tags. The second week, from the 8th of September onward, is more of the same — consistent but small, with that east wind keeping it from getting good. The 10th of September offers a slight uptick to 5 ft with the same east wind, but it’s still just a marginal call.
If you can only pick one window, it’s the morning of Monday the 31st of August. That’s the real deal. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Bagasse Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bagasse provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bagasse can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bagasse 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 (Bagasse) 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 Bagasse 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.
Bagasse is 24 km (15 miles) from Sainte-Marie. If you plan a holiday in Martinique, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sainte-Marie. Sainte-Marie has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
