The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a slow grind to start, with a lot of blown-out, ordinary conditions before things start to pick up with some size later on. The first week is mostly a write-off for a proper surf, so save your energy for the better windows that show up in the second week.
The first real window we can talk about is the morning of Monday, August 10th. We’ve got a weak, short-period swell at 4 ft from the E, but the wind is offshore and it’s clean. Even then, it’s just surfable, not spectacular. The energy is still weak, only hitting a combined 155. Water temp is a warm 84°, about 0.5° above average for this time of year, so it’s pretty standard. The main issue is the inconsistent nature of the break, so you’ll be waiting around for sets.
After that, there’s a real gap. From Tuesday, August 11th through Thursday, August 13th, the conditions get messy. The swell tries to build but the cross-off winds and junky periods make it a poor call. Friday, August 14th sees the swell jump up to 8 ft from the E, but the wind is howling at 25 mph and it’s cross-off. That’s not surfing, that’s a battle. The energy is strong at 976, but it’s going to be a washing machine.
The standout window finally arrives on Saturday, August 15th. The morning looks the best of the whole run. We’ve got 8 ft of ENE groundswell with a fresh offshore wind at 22 mph. It’s still big, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. Over 8 ft is expert territory, and this is right on that edge. The energy is strong at 815, and while the break is a reef, which is good for a long-period swell, this period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have that extra push. Still, it’ll be clean and lined up. You’ll want to be comfortable in big, raw surf. Sunday, August 16th holds similar size at 7 ft with the same offshore wind, so that’s your second pick, but the energy drops a touch and the quality will be slightly less.
After that, the wind goes cross-off again early next week, and the swell slowly backs off. We’re looking at moderate energy and so-so conditions through to the end of the forecast window on Friday, August 21st. There’s nothing that screams ‘drop everything and go’ out there, but that Saturday morning is the clear winner. Get on it if you’ve got the skills, and be patient the rest of the time.
Rusty, out.

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.
