The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what Antigues Cape (reef) has in store. The water temp is about 29°, dead average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Thursday the 6th through Wednesday the 12th, the swell is tiny – between 3 ft and 5 ft – with short, weak periods of just 6 to 8 seconds. The wind is either cross-off or offshore, so it’s clean, but the energy is pathetic, barely a ripple. The forecast says poor surf or very ordinary conditions. Don’t bother. There’s a solid four- to five-day gap with nothing worth paddling for.
Starting Thursday the 13th, things perk up. Swell hits 6 ft from the east, period stretches to 8 seconds, and the wind is offshore but fresh at 30 to 35 km/h. Combined energy jumps to moderate levels. It’s still called marginal, but the sets will have some punch. This is for experienced surfers only, as 6 ft with that wind can get messy.
The real standout is Sunday the 16th afternoon. That’s the session to wait for. We’re talking a solid 8 ft of east-northeast groundswell, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1013. Wind is offshore from the east at 25 km/h. This is the best on offer – expect very good surf. Because it’s a reef, that longer period will wrap in nicely. But 8 ft is expert-only territory. The break is inconsistent, so be patient. Crowds are likely, so get there early.
Saturday the 15th is also good with 8–8 ft and offshore wind, and Monday the 17th morning still has some size at 7 ft, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms. Sunday afternoon is the clear winner.
After that, the swell fades fast, dropping back to 4–5 ft with weak period and poor conditions. The good window is tight, but if you nail that Sunday afternoon, you’ll be smiling.

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.

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).
