The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Antigues Cape over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water’s sitting pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. The good news is this spot is a reef setup that loves swell from the NE, and we’ve got a few windows where that lines up. But honestly, the next week or so is pretty lackluster. The first real chance of anything decent won’t come until the end of the month.
From today, Friday the 21st, through to the end of next week, it’s small, weak, and messy. Swell heights are mostly around 3 ft to 5 ft, and direction is straight out of the east, with short periods under 8 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the energy is just not there. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (254 down to 132). The surf quality is poor, nothing to get excited about.
There’s a bit of a bump on the 25th with the swell pushing 6 ft, but the wind is fresh and cross-off, and the period is still short. The energy picks up to 475 (moderate), but the forecast says poor conditions. Really, it’s a kite surfer’s setup more than a paddle surfer’s dream.
Now, the standout window. The best couple of days are shaping up to be Sunday the 30th of August into Monday the 31st. On the 30th, the swell comes from the ENE at 8 ft, with a period of 10 to 12 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 1376 to 1976 (strong to very strong). That’s got some grunt. The wind is offshore from the ENE on Sunday afternoon, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Monday the 31st, the swell drops to 5 ft from the east, and the wind stays offshore from the NE, 12 mph. It’s a smaller, more manageable day with moderate energy (391). Good for a broader range of abilities.
The guidance says Antigues Cape is a beginner-friendly reef, but it’s inconsistent and can get crowded. So when the 30th rolls around, expect some company, but the quality will be worth it.
After that first week of September, the swell drops off again into the 3 ft to 5 ft range, with weak energy and short periods. The wind holds offshore, but it’s just ordinary. There’s no major standout after the 31st.
So, if you’re keen, your best bet is Sunday the 30th afternoon or Monday the 31st. That’s where the magic is.
Rusty.
