The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Antigues Cape. We’ve got a real slow patch ahead, with the first proper surf not showing up until late in the period. From now until around the 9th of August, it’s basically flat to tiny—waist-high at best, with weak, short-period swell and messy cross-off winds. Not worth paddling out for.
We start to see a little more life on the 9th, but the quality is pretty ordinary. The swell starts pushing 5 feet, but it’s still short-period stuff, and the winds are mostly cross-off. It’s surfable for the keen ones, but nothing to write home about.
The real uptick happens from the 12th of August onward. The swell builds steadily, hitting around 6 feet on Wednesday afternoon, with energy moderate at 319. The wind turns offshore and it cleans up nicely. Thursday the 13th sees the swell push over 7 feet, and energy jumps to 510-531, but it’s still short-period and the winds are fresh. Friday the 14th brings a strong offshore breeze—25 mph in the morning—which will make it glassy but tough to paddle into. The swell stays around 6 feet.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th keep the swell at 6 to 7 feet, with moderate energy in the 500s on Sunday afternoon. The wind is mostly cross-off, but Sunday afternoon does go offshore and clean. That’s probably your best window, especially if you’re comfortable with a bit more size. But honestly, nothing here is screaming classic. The period stays stubbornly stuck at 7-8 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit walled-up and lumpy, not the clean, lined-up reef perfection we’d love to see.
The water’s at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. Crowds could be around, especially any time the conditions look half-decent. This is an inconsistent spot, so when it does show, people tend to be on it.
So, the long and short of it: the first week is a write-off, the second week has some pushy, but not great, surf. The standout window is the 16th, Sunday afternoon, when you’ve got 7 feet of east swell, offshore wind, and energy in the 500s. It’s the most promising the forecast gets. Keep expectations in check, and you might snag a few fun ones.

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. Our Antigues Cape surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
