The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you, the surf situation around here for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty grim. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’ve got a long stretch coming up where things are just going to be flat and messy.
Looking at the entire forecast, the first decent mention we get isn't until Thursday the 24th of July. Even then, it’s nothing to write home about. From now until then, there’s just no surf on offer that’s worth paddling out for.
Now, about the only game in town is Antigues Cape. This place is a reef setup, so it needs a clean swell to work, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. Right now, the water temperature is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you don't need a thick suit.
The most promising, and I use that term loosely, is on Friday the 25th of July in the morning. We’ll see some chest-to-head-high swell, coming in around 6 ft from the ENE. The wind will be offshore out of the east, which should keep the faces pretty clean. The combined swell energy is moderate at 325, so there’s a bit of push behind it. It’s not perfect, but it’s likely the best we’ll see. The period is short though, only 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and not super grunty.
There’s another window on Thursday the 30th of July. The swell is going to push up a bit, with the morning showing 8 ft from the ENE, and the afternoon at 7 ft from the E. That 8 ft morning session is getting into the zone where it’s more for experienced surfers, as it’s over 7 ft. The wind will be cross-off in the morning and offshore in the afternoon, so conditions should be manageable. The energy reading is strong at 705, so there’s plenty of water moving around. But again, the period is short, just 8 seconds, so it’s not a long-range groundswell.
After that, it’s a slow bleed back down to 2 ft and weak energy. Honestly, for the whole 16 days, this is looking more like a kitesurfer’s window than a paddle surfer’s paradise, with the strong winds and average quality wave shapes.

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.
