Antenot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Right now, the surf around here is pretty flat and gutless. We’ve got a solid stretch of small, weak, short-period dribble, and honestly, there isn't a single day in this whole 16-day window that gets my heart racing.

For the immediate future, the next several days are going to be a grind. We’re looking at ankle to knee-high slop at the main break Antenot (Antenot). The swell is just tiny, with weak energy readings mostly in the double digits, like 30 or 38. The period is a short 6 seconds, so there’s just no push or power. Wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. You’d be fighting the wind for nothing. The early morning on the 12th looks glassy, but the swell is only 2 ft and the energy is a pathetic 18. It’s just not worth the paddle.

We do have a bit of a bump around the 17th and 18th of August. The swell picks up slightly to 3 ft with a touch more energy, hitting the 70s and 80s, but it's still a short-period 7-second windswell. The mornings will see a cross-onshore breeze, making it a bit lumpy, and the afternoons go fully onshore. It might be the most rideable it gets, but it’s still not going to be a classic. For a total beginner at an already inconsistent break, these conditions are still marginal. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.

After that, we trail off again into tiny, weak surf. The energy just flattens out, dropping into single digits at times. There are some glassy mornings on the 21st and 22nd, but the swell is so negligible (1 ft) that it’s less surfing, more floating.

Simply put, this is a long, blank stretch. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, no “wait for Wednesday” moments. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just gives us nothing. Forecasts do change, but right now, you’re better off doing something else.

Stay patient. Rusty out.
