The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a tough stretch ahead. The first solid surf window isn't until the end of the month, so don't go getting your hopes up for the next week or so.
The only spot in the game is Antigues Cape. It’s a reef break, exposed enough to catch a bit of east swell, but man, it’s been inconsistent and the forecast is a real heartbreaker for a while.
We start off Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th with some waist to chest high swell, around 5ft to 6ft from the east, but the wind is just hammering it. The combined energy is moderate (214-365), but easterly winds in the 19 mph range are making a mess of things. Saturday afternoon sees a bit of a drop in the wind to a moderate breeze, and the swell drops to 6ft, but it’s still just a marginal call.
Sunday the 19th is the first real glimmer. The afternoon has a moderate offshore breeze from the east, with 6ft east swell (8 seconds) and 361 combined energy. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions," so that’s your best bet in the first week. The swell is clean, but with that short period (8 seconds) it’s going to be a bit weak and a little inconsistent.
From Monday the 20th all the way through to Wednesday the 29th of July, it’s a desert. The swell drops off, the wind stays onshore or cross-off, and the energy level barely cracks 150. We’re looking at a solid 9-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing.
Now, here’s the light at the end of the tunnel. Starting Tuesday the 30th of July, things start to change. We get a fresh offshore wind from the east, and the swell builds back to 5ft-6ft. The real standout looks like Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August. Both days have a fresh offshore breeze (22 mph on Friday morning, 19 mph on Saturday) and a solid 6ft east-northeast swell with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (375-384), and the wave comment is "marginal" but the wind is clean and offshore. This is the best on offer.
For the whole 16-day window, the only true standout is the end of the month. The water is about average for the time of year, so don't expect any weird temps. Keep the faith, it’ll come good.
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.
