The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you: looking at the 16-day window for Antigues Cape, it’s a tough stretch. The surf is there, but it’s fighting a losing battle with the wind almost every day. We’re talking about a reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, but it’s just not coming together right.
The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July. There’s a bump in the combined energy (328) and the wind swings offshore, which is a big positive. You’ll be looking at 5 ft of swell from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds. It’s a short period, so it won’t be the most powerful thing, but it’s clean. This is the best of a bad bunch, but honestly, it’s still only a 2 out of 10. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option.
Then Saturday the 25th of July keeps the offshore wind, with swell holding around 5 ft to 6 ft from the ENE, but the energy is still moderate (321) and the forecast is marginal. It’s rideable, but you’ll be working for it.
The pattern from there is grim. From Sunday the 26th right through to the end of the forecast window on the 5th of August, it’s almost all cross-offshore winds, often fresh and breezy, keeping the surface bumpy. The swell sticks around, mostly between 4 ft and 6 ft from the E or ENE, with periods still short (6-8 seconds). The energy stays in the moderate range (146 to 385), but the wind is just never your friend. There are a couple of afternoons on the 1st of August and the 4th of August where the wind goes offshore, but the waves are just ordinary.
Honestly, if you’re looking at this spot, the setup with the consistent wind and moderate swell is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The sea state is clean, but the wind is just too strong for good surfing. It’s a long 16 days and the only day that even whispers “paddle out” is the afternoon of the 24th of July. Even then, keep your expectations low.
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.
