The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Antigues Cape. Honestly, it’s a frustrating outlook. The next couple of weeks are dominated by a persistent east-northeasterly wind regime that just won’t let up, keeping the ocean a bit too worked up for clean, quality waves. We’ve got moderate wave energy (238) for the first session, but the short period of 7 seconds means it’s not going to have much push or shape.
Look, the only window I’d even bother paddling out for is the afternoon of Friday, 18 July. You’ll see swell around 2 m (6 ft) from the east with an 8-second period, and the wind goes offshore. It’s not perfect, but with that offshore flow (25 km/h or 16 mph), it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see for a while, with moderate wave energy (359). It’s a reef break that’s fairly exposed, so it can handle a bit, but it’s also inconsistent, so you’ll be sitting there waiting. Water temp is about normal for the time of year at 28° (83°F).
After that little window, it’s a stretch of cross-offshore winds and middling surf until we get to the 26th of July. On Sunday the 26th morning, the energy jumps up to 439 – that’s strong – with 2 m (6 ft) east swell. But again, it’s cross-offshore wind and a marginal tide call. This setup looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell is just a bit too lined up and short-period for it to break well.
Honestly, we’ve got a long blank run here. There just aren't any standout days where everything clicks. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, that’s not a huge surprise. Keep an eye on the charts, though.
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.
