The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the coming weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a write-off for Antigues Cape. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions with lousy surf and trashy winds. The good news is that things start to turn around heading into the weekend, and then we've got a real standout on the horizon. The water temperature is sitting right on the average for this time of year at 84°F, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in on Saturday the 15th of August. The morning shows some offshore wind setting in, with a 7ft swell from the ENE, but it's still a bit messy and the energy is moderate (651). It's a bit marginal, but you can feel the change coming. By Sunday the 16th of August, we're cooking. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, and the swell is a solid 6ft from the ENE. The period stretches to 9 seconds, and the energy jumps to a strong 1172. This is the best day on offer, with very good surf conditions expected. It's a reef break that's fairly exposed, and it's inconsistent, so you'll want to be patient and pick your sets. The optimum swell direction is NE, and we're getting ENE, which is close enough to work nicely. Crowds are often a thing here, so expect company.
Then Monday the 17th of August keeps the run going with a 7ft groundswell from the ENE, a period of 11 seconds, and a strong energy reading of 1084. The wind is offshore at 12 mph, so it's clean. This is over 7ft, so it's getting into the realm for intermediate to advanced surfers. The longer period means the waves will have more shape and energy, but at a beach break, it can make things a bit too straight. At Antigues Cape, a reef, that long period is a real bonus, giving you proper, lined-up waves.
After that, the swell drops back down. The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of smaller, wind-affected conditions. There's a brief moment on Friday the 21st of August afternoon with a 3ft swell and offshore wind, but it's very ordinary. The next notable day is Tuesday the 25th of August, with a 6ft swell from the E and fresh offshore wind, but it's still only marginal. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but don't get your hopes up too high.
To sum it up: your best bet is Sunday the 16th of August, with Monday the 17th as a close second. The rest of the window is mostly for checking the cam and waiting for the next proper pulse.
Rusty.

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.
