The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s ahead for Capo Marina. This is a tricky reef setup that needs a very specific sweet spot to work, and this forecast is a long, quiet grind until we finally get a sniff of something decent. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
We’re looking at nearly two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday the 20th right through to the end of August, it’s a flat spell with only tiny scraps of energy. The combined swell energy barely cracks 100 (93) in the first session, and then mostly just a few single-digit values. The best of that period is a brief moment on Saturday afternoon the 22nd, where a 3ft SSW swell at 7 seconds meets glassy conditions. It’s an absolute knee-high dribbler, but if you’re desperate, the conditions are clean. That’s the only flicker of life in an otherwise dead ocean.
The first real standout doesn’t arrive until Friday morning, September 3rd. That morning, we see a 5ft SSW swell with an 8-second period drive the combined energy up to 238 (moderate energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. This is far and away the best window of the entire 16-day run. The wave size is just right for the advanced crew this spot demands, and the winds line up. Be aware that this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.
Before that, the morning of Saturday August 29th is worth a mention. You get a 3ft SW swell with clean offshore winds from the NNE, bringing the combined energy to 152. It’s not a standout, but it’s a clean, surfable morning with a proper offshore wind, which is a rare treat around here. The one caveat on September 3rd is that the swell is short period, so don’t expect those long, drawn-out lines. It’s a short, punchy wall.
For the most part, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session, thanks to the bumps and cross-onshore winds during the active periods. Hang tight, the beginning of September might just save this forecast.
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.
