Antenot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking at Antenot over the next sixteen days.

First thing I gotta say is, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86°. That's a nice bonus for a long session.

But let's be real about the surf. This spot is a breakwater setup, and it's inconsistent as it gets. For the entire sixteen-day window, the waves barely get their act together. The combined swell energy tops out at a measly 99 (moderate wave energy) at best, but mostly it's well under 100 (weak wave energy), and the swell heights struggle to hit even 3 ft. The swell direction is a steady WNW, but the optimum for this place is from the west, so it's never really hitting right.

For the first week, you're looking at tiny, weak surf. On Sunday the 6th, there's a faint glimmer of hope with 3 ft swell and a period of 8 seconds, and the morning is glassy. It gets a score of "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but honestly, it's small and weak. The same sort of thing pops up again on the morning of Thursday the 10th (3 ft, 7 sec, glassy) and Friday the 11th (3 ft, 7 sec, glassy). All the other days are ruled by poor surf conditions thanks to onshore and cross-onshore winds from the NW. The best the second week offers is a glassy Saturday morning on the 12th with 3 ft of swell, but that's it.

To be blunt, there are no standout days here. The energy never builds, the period is short (always under 8 seconds), and the wave heights are tiny. This is one of those blank runs that's pretty normal for this area. If you're desperate for a splash, maybe the glassy mornings with 3 ft to 3 ft on the 6th, 10th, 11th, or 12th could give you a few ankle-biters, but don't expect anything worth writing home about. For the way this break is set up, the conditions look more interesting for a kite surfer with a big kite than for a paddle surfer.

Rusty.
