The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a long outlook ahead, and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough one for the Cape. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim with no real standouts to get excited about. There’s a huge gap of good surf here – basically, the whole period is a write-off.
We start off on Tuesday, July 28th, and it’s just not happening. The swell is weak at 4ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the energy is low (236). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph, which keeps things clean, but the waves are just poor. This flat, disappointing pattern hangs around for days. The swell builds a bit to 7ft on Wednesday and Thursday, but it’s still short-period junk, and the wind stays a solid 19-22 mph cross-off. The energy climbs into the moderate range (up to 539 on Thursday morning), but the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions.
The first real flicker of a surfable wave doesn’t come until Tuesday, August 4th. The afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the ENE, period still short at 7 seconds, and the wind finally goes offshore from the east at 16 mph. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the energy is still low (187). It’s a glimmer, but nothing to write home about, and it’s only rated a 1 out of 10. The water here is a warm 84°, which is about normal for the time of year.
After that, we slide right back into a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind stays mostly cross-off, the swell hovers between 4ft and 6ft, and the period doesn’t get above 7 seconds. There are a few more moments with offshore wind on Friday, August 7th (5ft, 7 seconds, moderate energy at 286), and again on Monday, August 10th (5ft, 7 seconds, 249 energy), but each time the wave comment calls it “poor surf conditions” or “marginal.” The only break on offer is Antigues Cape, a beginner-friendly reef that’s inconsistent and often crowded. It’s fairly exposed to the east, which is the direction of the swell, but with this quality, it’s just not worth paddling out for.
The energy never gets strong, staying in the low to moderate range (126 to 539) the whole time. Without a quality swell, decent period, or clean wind to line things up, this is a long blank run. It’s one of those stretches where forecasts can change, but for now, there’s no surf to chase.
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.

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.
