Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
Alright, looking at what's on the table for the next little while, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a mixed bag, and you're gonna have to work for it. The main game in town is Antigues Cape, a reef break, and while it's rated for beginners, this stretch isn't looking like a classic.
The water's sitting at a warm 83°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year – bang on average, so no surprises when you get in.
Now, the first real sniff of something that's *okay* kicks off on the morning of Friday the 10th of July. We've got a 6 ft swell coming from the E at a short, fat period of 8 seconds. The wind is a fresh offshore from the east, 19 mph, which will keep the surface clean, but that combined swell energy is only moderate, around 444. The word on the street is it's a marginal surf forecast, and honestly, it feels like you're paddling out for a fight.
That pattern rolls right on through Saturday the 11th – still 6 ft from the east, same short period, and a 19 mph offshore. The energy ticks up a little to 491 on the morning, but it's still just 'marginal'. You'll get a wave, but don't expect any gems.
Come Sunday the 12th, the wind starts to turn cross-offshore, and the wave comment drops to 'poor surf conditions'. The swell drops back to 5 ft and the energy drops off a cliff to 353, then 266. From here, it's a long, dry spell. That 'poor surf conditions' tag sticks around all the way through to Friday the 17th of July. For a full working week, it's pretty much a write-off.
We get a little flicker on the afternoon of Friday the 17th. The wind goes back to offshore at 16 mph, and the wave comment says 'surfable waves but very ordinary conditions'. The swell is only 4 ft with a 7-second period, so it's small and weak, with a combined energy of just 178. It's not going to get your heart racing.
The following weekend, Saturday the 18th, the wind is offshore again, 5 ft swell, but the forecast is back to 'poor'. That's a bit of a kick in the teeth.
There is a slight, and I mean *slight*, lift on the horizon. By the 19th and 20th of July, we start to see 'expect good surf conditions' on the Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. The swell sits at 5 ft, still a short 8-second period from the ENE, right at the optimum direction for the spot. The wind stays a moderate offshore (16 to 12 mph), and the combined energy gets back up into the mid-to-high 200s. The Sunday afternoon shows a combined energy of 282.
Honestly, if there's a window, it's that Sunday afternoon the 19th of July through Monday morning the 20th. It's not going to be epic – that 8-second period means it's a bit weak and won't have the punch of a groundswell. But with the wind clean and offshore, you might scratch out a few fun ones. The energy is moderate, but for this stretch, it's the closest we get to a standout. It's only for beginners, so don't expect a heavy drop, but if you're keen, that's your target.
But don't get too excited. The second half of that final week, from Tuesday the 21st, it's all 'poor surf conditions' and cross-offshore winds again, dropping right back into the doldrums.
So, overall, this is a lean forecast. A lot of small, wind-affected, crummy waves. The only spot worth paddling out for is Antigues Cape, and only during that brief window on the 19th and 20th. Be prepared for inconsistent sets and a lot of waiting.
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.
