The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Antigues Cape over the next couple of weeks.
First things first, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a tough one. The outlook is pretty dry for actual quality surf. We’ve got some swell pushing through, but the wind is a constant problem. Mostly a fresh cross-off breeze from the east, which is just not doing the waves any favours. The water temperature is sitting at 86°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year, so at least the wait will be a warm one.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Saturday the 12th of September. We finally see a shift to a true offshore wind from the east. The swell is a small 5 ft, also from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 282, so it’s not packing a punch. It’s a marginal call, but that fresh offshore and clean look will be a welcome change for the early session. The afternoon drops off a bit to 5 ft, and the score is still low.
After that, it’s back to the same old story of poor conditions until we get a bit of a tease on Tuesday the 15th of September. The afternoon shows a 3 ft east swell with a slight offshore wind, but it’s only rated as “surfable but very ordinary.” The energy is really low at 142. It’s a paddle, but don’t expect much.
Now, the standout. This is the one you should circle. Tuesday the 22nd of September. The morning kicks off with a solid 6 ft east swell, period of 8 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind from the east. The combined energy is a moderate 399, and for the first time in a while, the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” The afternoon is even better – 6 ft, 8 seconds, and the wind stays offshore from the ENE. Energy jumps to 481. This is easily the best run of the entire forecast. The swell is a bit meaty for beginners, but it’s clean, has push, and the offshore wind will make it a proper session. This is two weeks out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the one to go for.
The period after that looks like it fades out again with the wind swinging back to a cross-off direction. So, if you can wait, the 22nd of September is your window. Otherwise, the weekend of the 12th is your only other chance for a quick paddle.
Rusty.
