Table - best surf conditions forecast for Capo Marina over the next 16 days.
Alright mates, Rusty here with the outlook for Capo Marina. Gotta be honest – this 16-day stretch is looking pretty flat and frustrating. This spot is notoriously inconsistent, and that's exactly what we're dealing with: a long dry spell with only a few tiny windows of barely rideable surf.
From Saturday the 11th all the way through the next week, it's all tiny dribble – 0.1ft to 0.6ft from the SSE or SSW, with periods of 4-6 seconds. The combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits or low teens – basically nothing. Winds are light, sometimes glassy, but with no swell to speak of, it's just a lake. That's a full week of nothing.
The first real bump shows up Monday the 20th – a 1ft SSW swell, but with a short 6-second period and cross-shore winds, it's messy. Energy hits 178, moderate, but conditions are poor.
The only standout in the whole run is Tuesday the 21st afternoon. The wind goes dead calm – glassy – and the swell drops to 1ft from the SW, period 9 seconds. That's the best direction for this reef, and the energy is 197, moderate but solid. It's still only "surfable waves but very ordinary" – so don't expect clean barrels – but it's the cleanest window we've got. If you're an advanced surfer and you're itching, that's your shot. Remember, this spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so it's a rare moment.
After that, it's back to tiny. Wednesday the 22nd drops to 0.5ft. Thursday the 23rd morning has a 1.0ft S swell, 6-second period, clean offshore but weak. Friday the 24th morning has 0.6ft SSW, 8-second period, clean. Then it's all 0.2ft-0.4ft junk until the 26th.
So bottom line: there's no good surf on offer. The only moment worth considering is that Tuesday afternoon, and even then it's marginal. That's just how Capo Marina rolls – it's a fickle, advanced reef, and a blank run like this is normal. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave your board at home.
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.
