The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for Bagasse. It’s a reef setup, pretty consistent, and it faces north for the best swell.
Overall, the next 16 days look like a slow grind for this spot. There’s really nothing doing until the tail end of the month. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, and the swell is on the small side or blown out. The water’s sitting at a balmy 84°, which is right about normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope is a stormy-looking Friday, the 28th of August. A solid 7ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, rolls in. The wind is a cross-offshore at 16 mph, so it should be clean. The wave energy is hefty at 616, but the wave comment says it's marginal. It could be a bit of a handful, and at that size, it’s pushing into more demanding territory.
Saturday the 29th holds similar energy, with a 6ft swell, but the wind goes cross, making it choppy. Not the best.
Now, Sunday the 30th of August looks interesting. We’ve got a 10ft swell from the ENE, and the period jumps to 11 seconds – that’s some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy of all swells here is a massive 2577. This is big, powerful stuff. The wind is cross from the NE at 13 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. This is strictly for experienced surfers only; beginners should stay well clear. Because it’s a reef break, that long period will focus the energy, making for some powerful, fast waves.
The actual standout window looks to be Monday, the 31st of August. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the east, but the wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the SSW, and then later a light offshore from the south. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions." The energy is moderate at 431, and it’ll be clean. This is the morning to be out there. The afternoon also looks good with a 5ft swell and light offshore winds. This is the best bet in the whole forecast.
After that, the beginning of September fades back into small, clean but weak surf, with swell dropping below 3ft and energy levels falling off a cliff. It’s not going to be worth the paddle.
So, to wrap it up: The first week is mostly a write-off. Keep your eyes on Monday, the 31st of August, for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves of the period. The Sunday before is for the big dogs only.
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.
