The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s translate that into the old language.
We’re looking at one spot, Capo Marina, a reef setup that’s advanced and inconsistent. The main issue is there’s almost no surf for the first ten days. A long flat spell starts now. The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Saturday, August 29th. Expect over three days of flat, poor conditions before that. That Saturday morning, a new swell comes in at about 5ft from the SW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the NE at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is 229 (moderate to strong), so there’s some push. It’s for experts only—5ft on an inconsistent reef is not for the faint of heart. Sunday morning, the 30th, looks worth a look. The swell drops to about 3ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare chance for clean, small waves. The combined energy is low at 56, so it’s small but clean. If you’ve got a longboard and want some glassy little runners, that’s your best option.
After that morning, it’s back to flat. The wind flips onshore for the rest of the weekend and into the next week. From Monday, August 31st, right through to Wednesday, September 9th, it’s a write-off. Swells barely crack 1ft, periods are short and weak, and the energy stays in the single digits. There are a few mornings with offshore winds for tiny waves, but 1ft – 1ft at 4–7 seconds won’t get you wet. A small pulse on Friday, September 4th, brings 2ft from the SW with an offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph – it’s clean but tiny. Not a standout.
Overall, for beginners, you can sleep in for the whole two weeks. Nothing over 5ft appears. For experts, Saturday the 29th is the only day with any power, but it’s inconsistent and a reef. Sunday the 30th is your glassy, small-wave day. That's it. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a quiet period.
Rusty.

Information about the Capo Marina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Capo Marina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Capo Marina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Capo Marina 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 (Capo Marina) 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 Capo Marina 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.
Capo Marina is 4 km (2 miles) from Genova. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Genova. Genova has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
