Antenot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Antenot.

Straight up, the next two weeks are looking like a real flat spell around here. This isn't one of those outlooks where I can get you excited about a sneaky pulse; we've got a serious dry patch on the horizon. For a break that's already inconsistent, this stretch is going to test your patience.

Looking at the first bit of action we've got, it kicks off Sunday morning the 30th of August. We see a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (302). The water's sitting at a toasty 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The problem is the wind is straight onshore from the West at 9 mph, and the forecast calls it marginal at best. That onshore wind is going to mess things up, making for a bumpy, unappealing surface. It's not a total write-off if you're desperate for a paddle, but don't expect any beauty.

After that, the window gets real quiet. We slide into Monday the 31st with a smaller 3ft swell but the wind is still cross-onshore, so it's messy. Tuesday the 1st of September drops even further. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell is consistently under 3ft and mostly in the 1ft to 2ft range. The wave energy drops right off into double digits, hitting as low as 13. There's a few moments of glassy conditions, like on the morning of the 4th and 8th of September, but with a swell that small, it's not going to break. This is a long stretch of nothing.

Things get a tiny bit interesting on Tuesday afternoon the 8th of September. We get a 3ft swell from the WNW with a period jumping up to 10 seconds. That's a much longer period, which usually means more shape and energy, and the combined energy hits 201 again. But again, the wind turns onshore from the WNW at 12 mph. It's a cruel tease.

Then it's back into the doldrums. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 14th of September, we are stuck under 3ft with periods bouncing between 4 and 8 seconds. There's glassy mornings on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, but with a swell of 1ft to 2ft, it's a lake out there, not a surf break.

Honestly, there's no standout session in this 16-day window. The best on offer is that Sunday the 30th morning session if you can handle the onshore wind for a bit of a chop-hop, or the Tuesday the 8th afternoon pulse if the wind backs off. But those are very low-percentage calls. This is just a tough run for Antenot.
