The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The first week and a half are looking pretty bleak. We're staring down a long gap of nearly ten days where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the energy is basically non-existent. It's one of those spells where you're better off cleaning the wax off your board or just enjoying the beach from the sand.
Things start to stir a little around Monday the 10th of August. We get a pulse of swell from the SW, pushing 2 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is still only weak at 89, but it's something. The morning looks best with a solid NNE wind blowing offshore at 12 mph, keeping it clean. It's not going to be a classic by any stretch, but it's surfable after the long drought. That afternoon, the wind drops to glassy, but the swell backs right off.
The real standout, the one that's got my attention, is Saturday the 15th of August. We're looking at a morning session at Capo Marina. The swell is coming from the S at 2 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps up to a moderate 71, which is the best we've seen. What makes this one special is the wind – a light ESE breeze at 3 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off wind. It's going to be lined up and looking pretty. The water is sitting at 82°, which is more than 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's going to feel like a bath. It's a reef break that's inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, so don't expect a crowd, but if you're in the know, this is the best window we've got.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat start, a little blip of life on the 10th, and then a promising but not certain window on the 15th. Keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change, and this blank run can't last forever.
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.
