The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s lookin’ pretty grim out there for the next couple of weeks. I’ve been staring at the charts for Antigues Cape, and it’s a long haul of mediocrity.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions from the start right through to the end. There’s a few days where the swell bumps up, but the wind is constantly messing with things. The best you can really hope for is a few “surfable waves” with “very ordinary conditions,” which is about as exciting as a flat tire.
Let’s break it down. Sunday the 2nd of August kicks off with a 5ft easterly swell, but it’s a short-period 7-second wind swell, and we’ve got a 15 mph cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is a weak 206, and it’s poor. Monday the 3rd is a little better, with the wind swinging offshore in the afternoon, dropping the swell to 4ft. The energy is 119, and it’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your best shot in the first week, and it’s not saying much. The water temp is a warm 84°F, which is about 0.9°F above normal, so at least it’s not cold.
We then hit a massive gap. From Tuesday the 4th of August all the way through to Sunday the 9th, the scores are all zeros. The swell drops to knee-high, the wind stays cross-off, and it’s just a total dud.
Then there’s a slight pulse around the 10th of August. Monday morning the 10th has a 5ft swell from the ENE with a 18 mph offshore wind. The energy is 178, and it’s “fresh offshore and clean,” but the rating is still 0. Monday afternoon offers another “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” with a 4ft swell and offshore wind. That’s probably your pick of the whole period, but don’t set your alarm.
The second week gets rougher. Swell builds from the 12th, hitting 7ft on the 13th of August, with a strong 549 energy reading. But the wind is a stiff 18-22 mph cross-offshore. With that much wind and a short-period swell, this setup at the reef is lookin’ more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a messy, blown-out mess for us. The 17th of August has a 6ft swell with a fresh offshore wind, but it’s still just “marginal.”
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, you might have some fun on the 13th and 14th. But for a proper surf? This is a blank run. It’s one of those times the ocean just doesn’t want to play ball. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be taking a long walk and a short paddle.
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.
Antigues Cape is 19 km (12 miles) from the city of Sainte-Rose. If you plan a holiday in Guadeloupe - Grande Terre, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sainte-Rose. Sainte-Rose has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
