The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you. Over the next couple of weeks, Antigues Cape is offering a pretty mixed bag. The first few days have some small, clean waves but nothing special – just enough to get wet if you're desperate. Then we hit a long stretch of really ordinary conditions, with poor surf and onshore winds messing things up. That gap runs from about the 21st through the 29th, with only a few fleeting moments of "maybe" surf. Honestly, not much to write home about.
But then, on Thursday the 30th of July, things finally come together. The afternoon session is the clear standout. Swell picks up to 6 ft from the ENE, period around 8 seconds – solid, short-interval energy that'll punch into the reef. Winds are offshore out of the east at 16 mph, so the waves will be clean and lined up. Combined energy reads 328 – that's moderate but punchy, enough to get a few good ones. This is a reef break, so it handles that direction well, and the optimum is NE, so ENE is close enough. Keep in mind, Antigues Cape is inconsistent and often crowded, so don't expect a deserted lineup. But if you're a beginner, this swell size is totally manageable – 6 ft is fine for learning, though it might be a little pushy for total novices. The crowd factor is likely, so prepare to share.
After that, it's back to mediocrity through the first few days of August. So if you're planning a trip, aim for the 30th – that's your best bet. Anything else is just a gamble.

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.
