The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got one spot to talk about, so let’s get into it.
First up, Antigues Cape. This is a reef break, good for beginners, but it’s inconsistent – so don’t expect it to fire every day. It’s fairly exposed to the east, and the best swell direction is from the northeast, which doesn’t match up much for this forecast. Water temp is 85°, pretty average for this time of year.
Looking at Monday August 31st, there’s a bit of life. The morning brings a 6ft easterly swell with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 464 (moderate). That’s a decent pulse, but the wind is cross-offshore at 16 mph and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. It’s clean, but just marginal. The afternoon improves – wind goes offshore at 12 mph, swell drops to 5ft, energy to 354. That’s your best window of the whole outlook. Not a standout, just the best of a tough run.
Tuesday September 1st, the swell drops to 4ft in the morning, 3ft in the afternoon, with the period dropping to 8 seconds. Energy drops to the 150 range. It’s surfable but nothing special.
From Wednesday September 2nd through the end of the first week, it’s a rough stretch. Swells bounce between 3ft and 4ft, periods around 7 to 9 seconds, energy mostly under 200, and the wind is cross-off or offshore but the direction is off. The swell is coming from the east or east-southeast, while the spot wants northeast. It’s just not clicking. Lots of days marked as poor surf conditions.
The second week doesn’t get much better. Swells hold around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind picks up – up to 22 mph at times – and it’s almost always cross-off. Energy climbs a bit, hitting over 400 on Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th, but with the wind up and the direction still wrong, it won’t be clean. A couple of afternoons on the 11th and 12th of September have offshore wind and are described as “surfable but very ordinary” – that’s your best in the second week.
Honestly, there’s no real standout in this 16-day run. The best is Monday August 31st afternoon, with a 5ft offshore easterly swell and moderate energy. That’s your pick. The rest is mostly poor conditions and mediocre swell. For an inconsistent spot like Antigues Cape, a dry spell like this isn’t unusual. Forecasts can shift, but right now, don’t get your hopes up.
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.
