The Lowdown
Right, listen up. It’s Rusty.
Alright, lookin’ at the forecast for this spot, Antigues Cape, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got swell, but it’s just not comin’ together. The wind is a persistent problem, mostly a cross-off from the east, which is just not cleanin’ things up properly for a quality wave.
The water temp is sittin’ at a balmy 84°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won’t be shiverin’ while you’re gettin’ frustrated.
Wednesday morning, the 2nd, we’re startin’ off small. A weak 2ft east swell with a short 7-second period (wave energy of 69) and that cross-off breeze. It’s poor. Thursday afternoon the 3rd sees a bit more pulse, the swell jumps to 3ft from the ENE, period stretches to 9 seconds, and the wind goes fully offshore. That’s the best window of the whole run, but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s nothing to write home about. The energy is still only moderate (151).
Then it’s back to the same old story. Friday and the weekend see the swell tick up a bit to 4ft, but the cross-off wind is relentless. The wave energy climbs into the moderate range (178-186), but it’s all for nothing. The wind is just killin’ it.
The second week gets a bit bumpier. Around Wednesday the 9th, the swell starts to push over 5ft, reaching 6ft by the 10th with a wave energy of 604 – that’s a strong pulse. But the wind is still a cross-off, now a fresh breeze at 19 mph. There’s a moment on Saturday the 12th where the wind goes offshore again, with a 6ft east swell. That’s your other potential highlight, but it’s still described as “marginal” at best, and the 8-second period means it’s not gonna have that long, drawn-out power.
Honestly, for a beginner spot, the swell mid-week is gettin’ a bit too big to be fun. For the crew who can handle it, the wind is just too messy. The setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period.
The rest of the run into the 17th sees the swell stay around 5ft to 6ft with a moderate energy, but the cross-off wind never gives us a break. Gaps of days with no real recommendation are the norm here.
If I had to pick the best of a bad bunch, it’s Thursday afternoon the 3rd or Saturday the 12th. But keep your expectations on the ground. It’s a tough forecast.
Rusty.

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.
