The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Antigues Cape.
Right off the bat, this is a tough run. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first few days are pretty ordinary – wind is blowing hard and the swell’s short and choppy. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are mostly a write-off for any quality waves. You’ll see some surfable lumps, but the conditions are pretty average, so don’t get your hopes up.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th aren’t much better. There’s a pulse of energy (combined energy up to 418), but it’s still short-period stuff with messy cross-off winds. This is more of a kite surfing kind of setup than a proper paddle session. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th morning stay in that same rut – plenty of wind, not much quality.
Now, there’s a glimmer. Sunday afternoon the 30th of August we get a real shift. The swell drops a touch to 3 ft from the ENE, but the period blows out to 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy hits 601, which is moderate to strong, and we get a clean offshore breeze. This is where Antigues Cape starts to work nicely as a reef break. The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is bang on average for the time of year.
Monday the 31st of August is the standout. Morning session is the pick: 6 ft of east swell, 12-second period, gentle offshore wind. That’s over 8 ft of clean, lined-up reef waves – experts only territory here, but if you’ve got the skills, this is going to be firing. The combined energy is 937, so there’s plenty of push. It’s an inconsistent break, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but the quality will be worth it. Expect crowds to be likely.
After that, the forecast drops off again. Tuesday the 1st of September through to the end of the outlook is mostly small, short-period slop or windy, average conditions. A few OK windows pop up, like Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon, but nothing that really sings compared to that Monday. The second week is lean – expect a long stretch of mediocrity.
If you’re keen, get on that Monday the 31st. That’s the one.
Rusty.

Information about the Antigues Cape Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Antigues Cape provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
