The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s see what’s cookin’ for the next couple weeks. Rusty here.
Looking at Antigues Cape over the whole 16 days, it’s a bit of a mixed bag with a lot of onshore and sideshore wind messing things up. We see moderate wave energy (365) and a chest-high 6ft easterly swell coming in on Sunday the 19th, but with a 30 km/h cross-off wind, it’s looking pretty average. The water temp is normal for this time, sitting at about 83°F.
It’s not until Sunday afternoon the 19th that things clean up a bit; we get an offshore breeze at 25 km/h and some clean 5ft waves, though it’s still a little marginal. Through the rest of that week and into the next, there’s constant short-period (7-8 second) E/ENE swells blowing through. Wave energy stays moderate, hitting up to 360 on the morning of the 26th, but the wind always spoils the party.
The standout is Sunday the 26th of July. For the afternoon, the swell is a clean 5ft from the east, the wind goes glassy offshore from the east at 25 km/h, and the energy is kicking at 360. This is your window. Antigues Cape is a reef break that needs the right swell, and it’s inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s on. You may see a few others out because it gets busy, but for clean head-high surf, it’s the pick of the bunch. Into the last days of July, we see a similar set-up on the 30th with offshore winds and 6ft waves, although conditions are a bit sketchy.
If you’re only paddling out once, make it Sunday the 26th in the afternoon. The rest of the fortnight is mostly wind-slop and waiting. Long-range forecasts are a bit sketchy, but this one’s worth circling on the calendar.
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.
