The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Antigues Cape.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it's a grim outlook. The swell is around, but it's just not good. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, with the first bit of proper "surfable" but average stuff not until Monday the 20th, and even then, it's nothing to write home about.
Let's start with the best of a bad bunch. The standout here is really the period around Thursday, July 30th. We've got a bit of a pulse of energy moving through. The swell is coming from the east at 6 ft, which is the biggest we'll see, and the wind is offshore from the ENE. It's still a moderate to fresh breeze, 15-16 mph, but it's offshore, which is a major plus for keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate (411), so there's some push there. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won't be the most powerful or well-shaped, but for this spot, it's the best window we get. The rest of the time, it's a cross-off wind mess or just too weak.
The water temp is about 83°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, for the bad news. The vast majority of the forecast is a write-off. From now until Monday the 20th, there's nothing worth paddling out for. We then have a run of "poor" or "marginal" conditions that stretches for days. The wind is almost always a cross-off from the east or southeast, which is a terrible angle for this reef. The swell is short-period and weak, with combined energy dropping to as low as 76 on the 21st of July. It's a classic case of having swell, but no quality.
Even the bigger days, like the 6 ft on the 29th and 30th, are ruined by the wind direction. While the energy is moderate to strong (355-411), the cross-off wind just messes up the face. It's a real shame.
If you're a beginner, the 5 ft+ days are going to be a challenge, and the 6 ft on the 30th is pushing into expert territory with those conditions. For a reef break that's inconsistent, it's just not lining up.
So, to be honest, if you're looking for a good paddle, this is a tough stretch. The only real window to keep an eye on is the morning of Thursday, July 30th. It's not perfect, but it's the only time with offshore wind and a bit of size. Everything else is a skip.
Rusty.
