Antigues Cape Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's look at the same stretch of weather in feet and miles.

The first few days are a total loss. There's swell, but the wind is all wrong – cross-offshore, gusty, and stormy. Don't even think about it. You gotta be patient.

The first time you might want to get the board off the rack is Monday morning, the 27th of July. The wind finally goes offshore. We're looking at waves around 3 ft, coming from the ENE, with a short, weak 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 121 – it's a weak, mushy little thing. Just a warm-up if you're desperate.

The best session of the whole outlook is Friday the 31st of July, in the afternoon. The swell is still a fun 6 ft from the ENE, but the wind is offshore and clean. The energy is a solid 422, giving it a nice moderate push. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly, but that offshore breeze will make it smooth. The water is a warm 83°, which is totally normal for this time of year.

Now, Antigues Cape is a reef break, and it's inconsistent, so it doesn't break all the time. But when it does, it can be a fun wave. The crowds are a thing here – it's "often" packed, so be ready for a crowd. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is a bit off the ideal NE, but it'll still wrap in.

The next week is smaller. Monday the 3rd of August and Tuesday the 4th of August see that offshore wind stick around, but the swell drops hard. We're talking 3 ft to 5 ft, with a period dropping to a sad 7 seconds. The energy is barely over 200. It's surfable, but you'll be working for it. After that, it's back to crappy cross-off winds and even smaller waves.

Bottom line: the only truly decent window in the whole 16 days is that Friday the 31st of July afternoon. It's not pumping, but it's the only time the stars align for a proper session. After that, it's a flat spell.

Rusty.
