The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the next sixteen days. It’s going to be a bit of a grind before we get any real action. There’s a big push of swell in the middle of the forecast, but the wind is going to mess with it for a lot of the time. The early part is basically a write-off. The one window that stands out is around Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August. Here’s the deal.
The first week is mostly dead. Nothing worth even looking at until around Friday the 14th, and even then it’s barely a whisper. The first real chance kicks off on Friday afternoon at Antigues Cape. The wind goes offshore from the east at 25 mph, with a 7 ft east swell at 8 seconds. Wave energy is moderate at 566. It’s a reef break that doesn’t fire often, but when it does it can give you some fun ones, especially if you’re just starting out. Water temp is 83°F, about normal for this time of year. Expect company – the crowds are often here.
Saturday the 15th is where it gets real. Morning has 8 ft from the ENE with a fresh offshore wind at 35 mph. Energy jumps to 910, moderate-to-strong. By afternoon, it’s a solid 10 ft from the east with a 9-second period and energy hitting 1502 – strong waves. The wind stays fresh and offshore, so it’ll be clean and powerful. This is for experts only. If you’re not ready for it, stay on the sand.
Sunday the 16th keeps it going with a 12 ft east swell in the morning (2365 energy – strong), but the wind turns cross-off from the ESE, so it’s not as clean. It’s still a heavy swell with a 10-second period, and on a reef break that rarely breaks, it’s going to be intense. Only for the brave.
After Sunday, the swell drops fast. Monday the 17th shows 6 ft, and the rest of the week fades into smaller, rougher conditions. From the 18th onwards, you’re looking at 5 ft or less with cross-off winds. That’s a long stretch of flat to marginal surf, lasting several days.
Heading into the second week, there’s a glimmer. Tuesday the 25th of August has a clean 5 ft east swell in the morning, with light offshore ENE winds at 9 mph. The afternoon builds to 5 ft with a light east cross-off breeze. Energy is low (276), but it’ll be clean and fun for beginners at the reef. It’s a long way off, so don’t bank on it, but it’s the best of the tail end.
So, if you want the biggest and meanest, Saturday the 15th is your day. If you want something cleaner and easier, look to the 25th of August, but take it with a grain of salt this far out.
