The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming up for the next couple of weeks. The only spot that's got anything going on is Antigues Cape, a reef break that's a bit inconsistent and doesn't break all that often. Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Friday afternoon kicks things off with a 7ft swell from the ENE, but with a short 8-second period and a fresh offshore breeze, the combined energy is moderate at 556. It's a bit marginal, honest. Saturday morning gets a bit more hectic with a 10ft ENE swell and a 10-second period, clean but strong offshore winds. The energy jumps to 1900, which is strong, but at that size it's really only for the experienced crew. Saturday afternoon drops to 8ft from the E, still clean, but still a handful. Sunday morning sees a 7ft E swell with 30 km/h offshore winds and moderate energy at 652, but it's still on the edge. Sunday afternoon looks better with a 6ft E swell, 25 km/h offshore, and a cleaner feel. The energy is a bit weaker at 508, but it's shaping up nicely.
Monday through Wednesday see the swell drop and the energy fade. Monday morning has 5ft from the E, then 5ft in the afternoon, both with moderate offshore winds and energy around 300. It's surfable but nothing special. Tuesday and Wednesday are even smaller, down to 4ft and 4ft, with light winds and clean conditions, but the energy is weak, only 200-240. Thursday and Friday the 21st and 22nd are pretty poor, with cross-offshore winds and short-period swell, so I'd give those a miss.
Now, the standout for the whole period is looking like Monday the 24th of August. Monday morning we've got a solid 10ft E swell with a 10-second period, gentle offshore winds, and the energy is a massive 1664. The guidance says the optimum swell direction is from the NE, but this E swell is still packing a punch. The conditions are forecast as excellent for experienced surfers, so if you know what you're doing, that's the session to aim for. Monday afternoon is still very good with 8ft from the E, but it's a bit cleaner with cross-offshore winds. The rest of the week after that looks like poor surf, with small choppy waves and cross-offshore breezes, so don't expect much.
So, if you're keen, keep an eye on Monday the 24th for a real cracker, but be ready for it to be a bit raw. The rest of the time, it's either too small, too windy, or just ordinary.
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. Our Antigues Cape surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Antigues Cape) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
Antigues Cape is 19 km (12 miles) from the city of Sainte-Rose. If you plan a holiday in Guadeloupe - Grande Terre, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sainte-Rose. Sainte-Rose has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
