The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Antigues Cape. This is a reef break, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t just fire up on a whim. It’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes it from the NE.
Right now, the water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first bit of action comes on Friday the 24th of July. We’ve got clean 5ft swell from the ENE, with a short period of 7 seconds and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is at 246 (moderate), but the wave comment is poor. It’s surfable, but only just. That same pattern holds through the weekend. Saturday the 25th bumps up to 6ft with 8-second period and still a fresh offshore, but the energy is building to 337 (moderate). Still, the quality is marginal. Sunday the 26th drops to 4ft, still short period, and the wind goes cross-off, which cleans it up but doesn’t save the quality.
Monday the 27th is the first real glimmer – 3ft swell, 8-second period, and a clean offshore wind. It’s small, but the conditions are right. The energy is down to 142 (weak), so it’s a thought for a longboard or a foiler if you’re desperate.
Then we hit a long dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 4th of August, it’s a mix of poor surf, cross-off winds, and rising swell that hits 7ft on Wednesday the 29th and 30th, with energy spiking into the 500s (strong). But the wind is cross-off and the period is short, so the quality is just poor. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. We get a 4ft swell from the E, short 7-second period, but the wind swings offshore from the ENE with a gentle breeze. The energy is low at 183 (weak) but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not pumping, but it’s the cleanest and most user-friendly window in a pretty bleak run. The afternoon of the 4th is similar, with a 4ft swell and moderate offshore, still surfable.
Because Antigues Cape is inconsistent, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. The forecasts can change, but right now, don’t book a trip around it. The closest thing to a best bet is that Tuesday the 4th of August morning session. Keep an eye on the horizon, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Antigues Cape can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Antigues Cape may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
