The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole picture, it's a pretty quiet stretch. We've got a long run of days with barely a ripple. The first real sign of anything surfable doesn't come until the first of August, and even then, it's modest. The water temp is sitting at 81°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be in for a warm one if you're paddling out.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is around Saturday the 10th of August. Up until then, we're looking at a lot of flat spells – from the 3rd of August through the 9th, there's practically nothing going on. The swell energy is pretty weak throughout, with the combined energy barely cracking double digits. The best pick is Capo Marina on Saturday the 10th. The morning is looking glassy with a light ESE breeze, and the swell will be a tiny 1 ft from the SSW. The energy is a weak 11, but it's the best we've got. Come afternoon, it picks up slightly to 2 ft from the S, with a combined energy of 39, but the wind swings onshore from the SSE, so the morning session is the one to go for. The water temp anomaly is only given for the first day, but with that much warmer than normal start, expect the water to stay balmy.
For the rest of the period, it's a whole lot of nothing. The 11th through the 14th of August are all flat, with just a few tiny, unrideable bumps. It's a tough run for surfers, but when it's this quiet, it's just the way it goes. The break itself is a reef, and it's inconsistent, so a blank run like this isn't completely out of the ordinary.
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.
