The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming.
First off, the outlook for Capo Marina is pretty thin for the next 16 days. The first week is dead quiet. From Thursday the 13th straight through Monday the 17th, you won't find a single rideable wave. The ocean’s flat or messy, showing zero wave energy. It's a long, dry spell.
Things finally wake up on Tuesday the 18th. The morning session is your first real chance. We've got a small 3ft SSW swell, but the real bonus is a light offshore breeze. The water temperature is a tropical 83°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual – feels more like bathwater than the ocean. The wave energy is weak (44), so don't expect any power, but the clean surface means a skilled surfer might find a fun little wave on the reef. Remember, this break is inconsistent, so even this small pulse matters.
That little window shuts quickly. From Tuesday afternoon through to Sunday the 24th, it’s back to poor conditions with bumpy cross-shore wind. A few small SW pulses come through from 2ft to 3ft, but with short periods and onshore wind, they’re just messy.
If you’re willing to wait, Monday the 24th morning offers another chance. It’s 3ft from the SW with a stiff offshore wind again. The energy is building into the moderate range (67), but the wave period is short at 5 seconds, so shape will be poor. Tuesday the 25th morning is the last real highlight of the whole period. It’s the best looking swell at 4ft from the SSW, with a 7-second period and clean conditions thanks to light offshore wind. The energy is moderate (173), so it will have a bit more push, but it's still small by normal standards. For an advanced, rare-breaking reef, you take what you can get.
After that, the second week fades back into small, weak swell and poor wind. A few clean mornings on the 27th and 28th offer scraps around 2ft and 0.3ft, but nothing to get excited about.
This is one of those blank runs the area is known for. No big swells are lining up, just a couple of tiny windows for the die-hards.
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.
