The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s ahead for Antigues Cape.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no proper surf on the cards. The first solid window doesn’t really open up until Saturday the 18th, and even then it’s touch and go. We’ve got a lot of small, weak, short-period windswell from the east, mostly around 4 to 5 feet, with periods barely hitting 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 200s (213), and the wind is a real problem – fresh cross-off breezes at 18 mph just messing up any chance of a clean wave. For a beginner-friendly reef break like this, that’s not doing anyone any favours.
The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, let’s talk about the one bright spot. Saturday the 18th, afternoon. The swell bumps up to 5 feet from the east, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy jumps to 306 (moderate). The wind drops to 13 mph and goes offshore, and the forecast is calling for good surf conditions. That’s your best bet in this whole 16-day window. The swell direction is straight out of the east, and this spot loves a northeast swell, so it’s not a perfect match, but it’s close enough. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions” – that’s the only time we see that in the whole run. Don’t expect much consistency though; this break is marked as inconsistent, so you might have to wait for the sets.
After that, we fall back into a pattern of ordinary, marginal, or poor conditions all the way through to the end of the month. The wind stays mostly cross-off or offshore, but the swell just doesn’t have the size or period to make it worthwhile. The 27th and 28th show some promise with swell heights pushing 6 to 7 feet from the east-northeast, and energy in the 300–500 range, but the conditions are still tagged as marginal or questionable. Could be a salvageable session if the tide plays nice, but it’s a gamble.
Bottom line: if you’re keen, make the call for Saturday the 18th afternoon. Everything else is a write-off or a dice roll. This is a spot that rarely breaks properly, and this forecast proves it – you’ll be waiting a long time between good waves.

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.
