The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots for ya.
Let’s talk about Antigues Cape — a reef break that’s good for beginners but don’t count on it firing every day, ’cause it’s inconsistent. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothin’ strange.
First couple days are alright: Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th, we got clean offshore winds from the east and east-northeast, swell around 4ft, period about 8 seconds. Wave energy is moderate, in the 290-300 range. Not epic, but surfable. You’ll see a few others out — crowds are often.
Friday the 28th, morning’s a mess, but the afternoon picks up with a fresh offshore and swell at 5ft. It’s okay.
Then we get the real deal: Sunday the 30th afternoon. Swell hits 6ft from the east-northeast, period stretches to 13 seconds — that’s groundswell, baby. Energy surges to 1048, strong. Wind is offshore, moderate. This is the highlight of the whole 16-day stretch. The sets will have more punch, but the lulls give you time to paddle out. Beginners will still be okay at this size.
Monday the 31st is a gem too. Morning has 6ft from the east-northeast, 10-second period, energy at 779. Wind is just a breath, barely there. By afternoon, it goes glassy — dead calm — with swell at 5ft. That’s gonna be a silky session.
After Monday, it falls apart. Tuesday the 1st of September the wind swings south-southeast, cross-shore, and the quality dies. From Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to Wednesday the 10th, swell drops under 5ft, period short, energy under 300, and the wind stays cross-offshore day after day. That’s a solid 10-day stretch of poor surf — not worth the paddle.
So, circle Sunday the 30th afternoon and Monday the 31st — those are your windows. The rest of the forecast? Might as well take up golf.
Rusty, out.

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.
