Bagasse Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer for Bagasse over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, it’s a bit of a slow cooker. We’ve got a lot of days where the ocean is just not cooperating, but if you’re patient, there are a couple of windows that’ll make it worthwhile. Water temp is sitting right around 84°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout hits you on Sunday the 30th of August. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 6ft swell out of the ENE with a 10-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the numbers back it up with moderate wave energy (743). The wind blows offshore from the SE, which for Bagasse means clean, lined-up faces. This is a reef setup that likes swell from the north, so the direction is decent, but with that period it’s going to punch. It’s a pretty consistent spot, too, so expect a few sets to roll through. The morning is definitely the pick here, as the afternoon looks a little messier.

After that, the surf settles back down into mostly marginal conditions through the first week of September with swell hovering around the 3-5ft mark and short 7-8 second periods. The wind is nearly always cross-off, which keeps the surface tidy, but the energy just isn't there.

Looking further ahead, the next flicker of life shows up on Sunday the 6th of September. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft out of the east with a 9-second period, and the SE wind keeps things cross-off again. The wave energy is light to moderate (221), and the scores suggest it’ll be surfable and fun, but this is more of a fallback session than the main event.

The final notable window is on Thursday the 10th of September. We see swell building back to 6ft out of the east with an 8-second period, and the energy gets back up to moderate levels (532). The wind is cross-off, so the waves will be clean, but it's firming up toward the end of the outlook, and it's still a little too early to call it a slam dunk for huge quality.

If you surf here, your best bet is without a doubt the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. That offshore wind and solid groundswell is the clear winner. The session on the 6th of September is a nice little bonus for anyone who wants a cruise.

Stay stoked, and don't sleep on that Sunday.
Rusty.
