The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the 16-day picture for Capo Marina. This is a tricky reef set-up that only breaks on the right swell, and we’ve got a real mixed bag ahead. The first week or so is pretty flat or tiny, with a few small windows of something rideable, but honestly, nothing to get excited about until we get into the second week. There’s a big gap in the middle with no real surf to speak of, so don’t hold your breath.
The best bet by a long way falls on Friday the 11th of September. For the morning, we’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy sitting at a solid 201 (moderate energy). The wind is offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, and the description says “expect good surf conditions” – that’s the standout. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. This is an advanced, inconsistent reef break, so it’s not for beginners, and the 3ft size is manageable for experienced surfers. The swell direction from the SSE is a decent match for the optimum SSW direction, so it should wrap in nicely. Just be aware that it’s a reef, and with a period of 8 seconds, it’s a shorter period wind swell, so it might not have the grunt of a groundswell, but with clean offshore wind, it’ll be fun.
Before that, we’ve got a few mornings that offer small, clean waves. Sunday the 30th of August morning has a 3ft SSW swell with a 6-second period, offshore wind from the NNE, and the combined energy is 49 (weak energy). It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – it’s a tiny, weak wave, but it’s clean. Not a standout.
Through the rest of the first week and into the start of September, there’s a lot of nothing. From Wednesday the 2nd of September right through to Monday the 7th of September, there’s essentially no swell at all – a long, flat gap of about 6 days with no recommendations. That’s a tough stretch for this spot.
From Tuesday the 8th of September, tiny junk starts showing again, but nothing worth paddling out for until we hit that Friday the 11th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.

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.
