The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s on offer for Antigues Cape over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a slow start, with the surf not really showin’ up until the afternoon of Saturday the 15th, and even then it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water temp is about average for the time of year, sittin’ around 84°F.
The first few days are a bit of a struggle. Saturday the 15th has a decent 8ft easterly swell, but it’s stormy with a stiff 22 mph cross-off wind, so it’s messy. The combined energy is strong at 1410, but it’s not clean. Sunday the 16th cleans up with offshore winds, droppin’ to 7ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, but the period is short (8-9 seconds) and the scores are low. This run of ordinary, small surf continues through the 23rd, with heights between 4ft and 5ft and mostly cross-off or offshore winds, but just nothin’ to get excited about.
Now, here’s the real standout. Monday the 24th is the one to circle. A big pulse of groundswell is forecast – 12ft from the ENE with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is massive at 4530 in the morning and 4257 in the afternoon. This is serious, powerful swell. The wind is offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean. But this is a wave for experts only – that size is well over 8ft, and the long period means it’ll be breakin’ hard and fast. It’s a reef break, so it handles that kind of energy well, but it’s definitely not for beginners. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.
Tuesday the 25th still has a solid 8ft easterly swell with a 11-second period, and combined energy of 1657, but the wind swings cross-off from the SE, which might mess with the shape a bit. After that, the swell fades and the conditions drop back into the ordinary range from the 26th to the 30th, with small waves and nothin’ to write home about.
So, if you’re chasin’ waves, hold out for the 24th – that’s the big one. The rest of the window is pretty average.
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.

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.
