Antigues Cape Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at what’s coming up for Antigues Cape. Honestly, mate, this stretch isn’t looking like it’s going to deliver much to get excited about. The pattern is pretty flat and ordinary for the next couple of weeks, with a lot of weak, short-period windswell and cross-off or onshore breezes messing with the quality. The water temp is sitting around 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s not a worry.

The first real chance of something decent pops up on Saturday, July 18th. The afternoon looks the pick of the week, with a moderate offshore wind from the east, cleaning up a 6ft east swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (338). It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the best you’ll see for a while. The waves will be a bit fat and gutless, but you’ll get a few rides.

Then there’s a gap. Nothing really good through the middle of the week. The next one to watch is the afternoon of Saturday, July 23rd. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the east-northeast, still only 8 seconds, but with a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy climbs to 427 (moderate). It’s still pretty average, but it’s the biggest energy of the whole forecast.

If you’re desperate, Monday, July 27th morning has a little pulse of 5ft east swell with a moderate offshore, combined energy 316 (moderate). But again, it’s short period and not much push.

Honestly, for Antigues Cape, this is a real quiet run. The swell is weak, the period is short, and most of the time the wind is cross-off, not pure offshore. If you’re a beginner, the 5ft to 6ft days with offshore winds are probably your best bet, as it won’t be too big. But for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s going to be a frustrating couple of weeks. The setup with the wind and short period junk might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a lot of these days.
