The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Antigues Cape has in store for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The surf is rolling in most days, but the wind is making a mess of things. The water is sitting at a pretty warm 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you’re scratching for a clean one.
The first week, from Friday the 24th right through the end of July, is a frustrating pattern. We get pulses of swell, but a stiff East wind, either onshore or cross-offshore, is blowing it all out, leaving a choppy, lumpy lineup. The one window that cracks open is the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. The wind finally swings offshore, cleaning up a 6ft swell from the East. It’s not huge, but the moderate offshore wind makes it the standout session of the entire forecast. This is a beginner-friendly reef, but it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets. The energy is moderate (396), just enough to get a decent ride.
Saturday morning the 1st of August holds that offshore wind, keeping 5ft waves from the ENE clean and rideable. It’s your second-best option, but the short 8-second period means the waves won’t have much push.
After that, it goes south again. From Sunday the 2nd of August through the 8th, the wind turns back cross-offshore, the energy fades, and the wave heights shrink. By the second week, from the 5th of August onward, we’re looking at tiny 1ft to 3ft waves with very low energy, barely enough to get a surfboard moving. With crowds being “often” at this spot, most locals will be smart and stay on the sand.
Mark your calendar for the afternoon of the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August. That’s as good as it gets.
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.
