The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for Antigues Cape. This is a reef break that works best with a northeast swell, but it’s an inconsistent wave, so you gotta be ready to wait. The water is warm at 84°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
The forecast kicks off with a bit of a dry spell. The first chance you get is on Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, not much grunt. The wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph, so the surface will be glassy. The energy is weak (101). It’s rideable, but it’s nothing to write home about.
From Thursday the 3rd right through to Monday the 7th of September, forget it. The swell stays small, from 2ft to 3ft, but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are just plain poor. The energy stays low (81 to 142). Save your energy.
Tuesday the 8th sees a little more size, with 4ft to 5ft from the east, but the period is still short at 7 seconds. The energy is picking up to moderate (205-239), but the wind is cross-off and fresh. The report says “poor surf conditions.” Not the day.
Now, Wednesday the 9th through Friday the 11th, the swell builds to 7ft to 7ft. That’s a solid size, but it’s all short-period, bumpy windswell (8 seconds). The energy is strong (574-664), but the wind is cross-off and fresh at 19 mph. For a reef, that’s a recipe for a choppy, ugly mess. Only for the hardcore crew.
The Best on Offer
Your best bet is Saturday, September 12th. Saturday morning shows 5ft from the east with an 8-second period. The wind turns offshore from the east at 19 mph, cleaning things up. The energy is moderate (304). The morning is called “marginal,” but the Saturday afternoon is the real deal. The swell stays at 5ft, wind is offshore at 16 mph, and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” The energy is 298. This is the one clear standout. The wind will be clean, the waves will be a fun size, and it’s not too big for a beginner who’s a bit confident, but the inconsistency means you’ll be sitting out there waiting for the sets.
After Saturday, it’s back to the grind. Sunday the 13th through to the end of the forecast on September 17th, we’ve got poor or marginal conditions. The swell hangs around 4ft to 8ft, but the wind is cross-off or onshore, and the period stays short (7-8 seconds). There’s a pulse on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th with 7ft to 8ft swell (energy hitting 606-721), but the wind is wrong and the conditions are “marginal.” It’s a lot of water, but it’ll be blown out.
So, here’s the bottom line: the first week is mostly a bust. The one true highlight is Saturday afternoon, September 12th. That’s your window. Mark it. The rest of the 16 days is either too small, too windy, or just plain messy. For an inconsistent spot, it’s a pretty quiet run.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Antigues Cape Surf forecast

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.
