Bagasse Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next couple of weeks for our stretch of coast.

To be honest, the first few days are pretty forgettable. We're looking at some weaker, short-period windswell from the ENE, mostly in the 2.5ft to 4ft range. The mornings are the only time it looks at all surfable, but with that short period and the marginal conditions, you're not missing much. There's a bit of a lull here before things get going.

The first real window of opportunity shapes up for Sunday, September 6th. The swell bumps up to a cleaner 6ft from the east, and the energy jumps right up, hitting 622 in the morning. It's still a bit junky, but this is the first time the ocean actually has some push behind it. The water temp is sitting at 84.2°, which is about spot on for this time of year.

Then comes my pick of the whole stretch. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 8th. Morning and afternoon both look solid with that 6ft of east swell, and the combined energy is still pumping at 614 and 552. The wind is a steady cross-off from the east, keeping the surface clean. This is the day to clear your schedule. Bagasse is a reef, so it handles this size well, and it’s exposed to the north, so the east angle works nicely. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you’ll get plenty of waves, but expect some company as word gets around. This is the standout.

After that, the swell slowly winds down through the second week. We go from a solid 6ft on the 9th and 10th, dropping to 5ft, and then settle into that 3.5-4ft range. It's mostly clean but weaker, and a lot of it is just ordinary. A couple of those days have a fresher breeze which chops things up a bit. The surf will be rideable, but nothing to get too excited about. These long-range calls are less certain, but as it stands, the 8th is your best bet before it fades out.

Stay stoked.
