The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down in feet and degrees.
Rusty here. Looking at Antigues Cape, I’ll be honest: the next couple of weeks are pretty bleak. We’ve got a massive dry spell – the first real shot at a wave doesn’t come until Saturday, August 16th. That’s a 15-day gap with nothing worth paddling for.
Right from the start of August, it’s all weak windswell from the east, with short, gutless periods. Wave heights are tiny, mostly knee to waist-high at best, and the wind is a messy cross-off. The combined energy is bottomed out in the low double digits. Just poor, flat conditions day after day. Nothing doing.
By the middle of the month, things start to build a little. On the 13th, we see some chest-high swell, around 5 to 6 feet, but it’s still cross-off and bumpy. The energy climbs to moderate levels, but the quality is just not there. It’s a chop-fest.
Your one and only standout window is the morning of Sunday, August 16th. Swell is pushing 6 to 7 feet from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is cranking at 608 – that’s a lot of power. And here’s the big plus: the wind is forecast to go offshore from the ENE, which could make it glassy and clean. Water temp is around 83°, about normal for the season.
But Antigues Cape is a reef that’s inconsistent and only fairly exposed. With that much swell, it’s expert territory only – way too big for beginners. The report flags it as marginal with tricky tides. Plus, crowds are likely there. If the stars align, it could pump, but don’t bet the farm on it. The short period means the waves will be a bit chunky and uneven.
Other than that one session, the rest of the 16-day window is a total bust. The energy fades fast after the 16th back to weak levels. It’s a long wait for a maybe. Keep your ear to the ground.
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.
