The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. Let’s break down Antigues Cape for the next couple of weeks. I’ll level with you – this isn’t a classic run. It’s a reef break for beginners, but it’s inconsistent, and the forecast is full of long quiet spells.
The first sign of life comes on Monday, August 10th in the afternoon. You’ve got a small 3ft swell out of the ENE, but the period is a weak 6 seconds. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE, so it’ll look clean, but the energy is low at 116. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about.
From Tuesday the 11th right through the week, it’s grim. Cross-off winds, small choppy swell, and the water temp is 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. We’re waiting.
The big moment hits on Sunday, August 16th in the morning. That’s the one. We get a long-period groundswell from the ENE at 5ft, but with a period of 14 seconds – that’s proper grunt. The combined energy jumps to 1354, which is strong. The wind is light from the ESE, so it’s not dead offshore but light enough to keep things glassy. For a reef break, that long period will wrap in clean. This is for experienced surfers only – the quality is excellent for a few hours. The afternoon gets messy though: 8ft and a fresh breeze.
After that, it’s back to small 3ft to 5ft days with cross-off winds. There’s a little flicker on Tuesday, August 25th morning with a 7ft swell and offshore wind, but the energy (561) is moderate and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a gamble.
Bottom line: Sunday morning the 16th is your shot. The rest of the time, with all that cross-off wind and average swell on a reef setup, it looks better for the kite surfers. Keep that date in mind.

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. If you surf the same spot (Antigues Cape) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
