The Lowdown
Alright, this one’s a tough watch. Honestly, the whole 16-day window is looking nearly flat for us here. There’s a tiny window right at the start that gives us something to paddle for, but don’t blink because you’ll miss it.
Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, we get a sliver of hope at Capo Marina. Swell is just a baby 2ft coming from the S, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 45 – that’s barely a whisper. But the saving grace is the wind: clean offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. It’ll be glassy and tidy, but you’re gonna be working hard for every ripple. The water is a balmy 82°, which is *much* warmer than usual for this time of year—four whole degrees above normal, which is pretty wild for a September morning. After that morning session, it falls apart fast. By the afternoon the wind swings and the swell drops to nothing.
From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the 16-day forecast, it’s just sad. There are literally *no* good surf options for two straight weeks after that first morning. You’ll see scraps of 0.3ft to 2ft here and there, but it’s mostly onshore, cross-shore, or just completely flat with zero energy. Consistent? No. This is one of those blank runs that’s unfortunately normal for the area when the swell direction doesn’t line up.
If you are desperate, Thursday morning the 10th of September shows a little bump: 2ft from the SW with a period stretching to 8 seconds and a combined energy of 63. The wind goes glassy from the NE at 3 mph. That’s the only other moment worth a mention, but it’s a long way out and still tiny. It’s a groundswell pulse, so it might have a little more shape than the wind slop, but it’s still just a glimmer.
For the locals: don’t hold your breath. The best bet is that Tuesday morning session—quick, clean, and gone. Otherwise, it’s a good time to wax the roof racks and wait.

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.
