Antenot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it's a pretty lean stretch. We're looking at a long dry spell of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until the very end of the run.

The entire forecast is for Antenot, a breakwater setup. It's an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this outlook is a perfect example of that. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86°.

From now, right through until the end of August, it's a tough watch. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with a short, weak period of 3 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is very low, barely cracking three digits (84 or less). The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, putting a chop on it. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Friday the 21st and Monday the 24th, but the swell is just too small and weak to make anything of it. You're looking at a solid two-week gap with no real recommendations.

Now, if you're holding out for a glimmer of hope, mark your calendar for Sunday the 30th of August. That morning, the swell finally nudges up to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 142. It's still a cross-on breeze from the SW, but it's light. This is the best we've got, but it's still described as marginal. The following Monday morning, the 31st, also has a similar 3ft swell with 119 energy, but again, it's nothing to get overly excited about. For a spot that's inconsistent and rarely breaks, these two days are the only real standouts, and they're a long way off.

Given the small, weak, and mostly onshore conditions for the vast majority of the period, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for some chop than a paddle surfer hunting for a wave. It's a long wait for very little reward.
