Antigues Cape Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Antigues Cape.

We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands, honestly. The first couple of days don’t look like much at all. Monday afternoon the 20th of July is the first chance to get wet, but it’s pretty lackluster – a weak 4ft ENE swell with a short period of 7 seconds and moderate energy (184). The wind is offshore, so it’s clean, but the whole setup is just ordinary. Don’t get your hopes up.

From Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of July, it’s a whole lot of meh. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross-shore, and the wave heights bobble around from 3ft to 6ft, but the conditions are consistently rated as poor. The energy is weak to moderate. There is a brief window on Friday afternoon the 24th where we get a better look – 5ft from the ENE, a clean offshore breeze, and wave energy picking up to 292 (moderate). It’s the first decent signal, but it’s still just a fleeting moment in a long stretch of mediocrity. The water temp is a balmy 83°F, which is dead average for this time of year.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the start of August. Monday the 3rd of August morning is marginal, but Monday afternoon and Tuesday the 4th of August are the pick of the whole 16 days. You’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, and clean offshore winds. The combined energy jumps to 373–389 (moderate), and the forecast is for good surf conditions. Tuesday afternoon the 4th of August especially looks sweet, with a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE and the same 6ft to 6ft swell. This is the best on offer, but remember, it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

The rest of the first week of August is clogged with strong cross-off winds and poor conditions, so don't expect much else. Overall, it’s a slow start, a long gap of mediocre surf, but a promising finish if you’re patient.

Rusty.
