Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you straight up – this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at a pretty bleak 16-day window for Capo Marina. Honestly, there's not a single session in the entire forecast that I'd call good. Most days are showing poor surf conditions from start to finish. You're looking at a proper blank run here. It's not unusual for this area when the swell just doesn't line up, but it's a bummer.
The first 13 days or so are a total write-off. We've got the smallest of tiny swells mixing in with onshore and cross-shore winds, and the combined wave energy barely registers a pulse – mostly sitting at a weak (1) to (7) on the energy scale. There are some glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 7th and Friday the 10th, but with swell heights stuck at 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft from the SSW or SW, you'd be floating more than surfing. Not worth paddling out for.
There's a slight nudge of life from around the 19th of July. Saturday morning the 19th sees a 1.3 ft SSW swell with a clean cross-offshore wind from the north and a combined energy hitting (7) – that's a little more push, but still tiny. Then Monday the 20th morning looks the best of a bad bunch: a 1.3 ft SSW swell, mostly offshore wind from the NNE, and energy creeping up to (10). It's clean, but the waves are still only knee-high at best. For a true standout, it's nothing. The afternoon on the 20th sees energy hit (15) with a 2.0 ft SSW swell, but the wind swings cross-onshore, ruining the surface. That's as good as it gets, and it's not saying much.
The water temp is sitting at 76.6° – a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting for a set that never comes.
We don't get a single day where the swell tops 5 ft, so calling it "too big for beginners" or "expert only" isn't even on the table. The swell period never gets above 8 seconds, so it's all short-period, weak, local windswell – no groundswell energy to speak of. At this size and quality, Capo Marina is honestly more interesting for a float on a SUP or a kite session than a proper paddle surf.
So there you have it. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever, but for now, leave the boards at home and find something else to do. Keep an eye on long-range updates.

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.
