The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Alright, look, the next 16 days at Capo Marina are a mixed bag with some real bright spots, but also a whole lot of waiting. The ocean temperature is a full 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’ll be surfing in a bath.

The first bit of the week is a write-off. Thursday and Friday are plagued with storm risks and onshore breezes, producing small, junky waves. The swell is short-period windswell, and the combined energy is weak until Friday afternoon when it climbs to a moderate 217, but it’s still cross-on and messy. Not worth paddling out.

Saturday, the 22nd, is when things get interesting. Saturday morning shows some real promise. The swell is 5ft from the SSW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy is a solid 207, and they’re calling it clean. This is your best bet for the first week. The wave quality is good, and the light wind should keep the surface smooth. It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle the swell well, but it’s an advanced wave and inconsistent, so don’t expect non-stop sets. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have some company for the best ones.

Sunday morning, the 23rd, drops right off, and then we hit a flat spell. From Monday the 24th through to the 28th of August, it’s pretty much dead. The swell drops to nothing, and the combined energy is in the single digits. There’s absolutely nothing to get excited about for nearly a week.

Then, on Friday the 28th of August, we get a proper pulse. The morning shows a 6ft SSW swell with a moderate 562 combined energy. The period is still short at 7 seconds, but the wind is from the east, giving a cross-offshore breeze in the afternoon. That afternoon session is looking clean and good. The size is right on the edge of what’s good for advanced surfers, but it’s not too big.

Saturday the 29th is a write-off again with strong onshore winds. After that, the swell fades through the end of the month and into September. There’s a small window on the morning of the 2nd of September with a 4ft SSW swell and offshore northerly winds, but it’s only rated as ordinary. The energy is a weak 127. The 3rd of September has a long-period 9-second swell, but it’s only 2ft.

So, the standout is clear: Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, is the pick of the first week. For the second week, keep an eye on Friday afternoon, the 28th of August for the biggest swell and cleanest conditions. That’s a promising one, but it’s a long way off, so don’t book the day off work just yet.

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.
