The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in the old tongue.
Honestly, peeping the charts for the next couple of weeks, it's a bit of a bum steer with more frustration than fun. There are a few windows, but you gotta pick your spots.
We start off this Saturday morning, August 29th, with a modest push. The waves are about 6 ft from the ENE with a short, weak period of just 8 seconds. It ain't packing much punch, with the combined energy reading a moderate 396, but the wind is blowing offshore from the ENE, keeping it glassy. It's a marginal call, but for a beginner-friendly reef that is *inconsistent*, it might be worth a look if you're itchin' for a paddle. The water temp is feeling pretty average for the time of year, nothing crazy. Keep an eye on the sky though, as thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon.
Then we hit a rough patch. From Sunday the 30th through the start of next week, the wind swings to a cross-off, which will chop things up. The swell picks up a bit on Sunday, with 8 ft waves from the ENE and a combined energy of 1249 – that's some moderate to strong juice. But it's not the kind of energy that makes good waves here with that side wind. For a beginner spot, over 5 ft is getting heavy, and 8 ft is pro-only. Honestly, with the strong cross-off breeze, it looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a place to paddle out.
The next week looks pretty flat and sad. The waves stay small, between 3 ft and 5 ft, with periods barely hitting 8 seconds. The wind stays cross-off, making for poor to ordinary conditions. The combined energy drops right off, meaning the ocean is just tired.
There’s a flicker on Thursday, September 3rd. We get a smaller 3 ft swell, but crucially, the wind turns offshore again in the morning. It's still a short-period 7-second wave, so it’ll be a bit fat, but with clean conditions it's the best of a bad bunch in that stretch.
Looking further into the second week, the swell gets a bit bigger but stays messy. Around Tuesday, September 8th, the waves push back up to 7 ft from the E, with combined energy hitting a moderate 560. The wind will be offshore in the morning, which is a good sign for a clean face. But by Wednesday the 9th, the swell is up to 8 ft (moderate energy of 771), but a fresh cross-off wind returns, making it hard to get stoked about. This size is still expert-only, and the lack of a clean wind kills it.
The standout window, if you can even call it that, is Saturday morning, August 29th. It ain’t perfect, but it's the only time the wind is offshore and the swell is present and a manageable height. It’s inconsistent, and you’ll need the tide right, but it’s the high point in a forecast that otherwise looks pretty grim. If you miss that, you’re waiting for a clean-ish morning on the 3rd or hoping the early on the 8th comes through. Don't hold your breath for the rest of it.
Rusty.

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.
