The Lowdown
Second Text (Imperial)
Well, let’s get the bad news out of the way first: we’re looking at a two-week plus stretch of mostly flat conditions at Capo Marina. It’s a real bummer, but it’s the reality of the forecast right now.
The ocean is currently a sheet of glass with no swell at all. There’s a tiny, weak pulse of SSW swell on Thursday, the 17th, but it’s got a pitiful 5-second period and a cross-onshore wind that will just mess it up.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes on Friday morning, the 18th. We get a clean 3ft of SSW swell with a 6-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE, so it should look clean. But this is a weak, short-period wave with weak energy. It’s about as thrilling as watching paint dry, but it’s surfable.
After that, it’s back to the flat spells. Day after day of nothing, or just tiny scraps of swell less than a foot. There is another small clean window on Thursday morning, the 1st of October, with a similar 3ft of SSW swell and a 5-second period. Offshore light NNE winds will have it looking tidy, but again, it's lacking any real push.
The water is a warm 79°, and it’s running seriously warm for this time of year, nearly 8° above average. That’s a major anomaly, but it won’t help the waves.
This is a classic blank run for this part of the coast. The exposed reef at Capo Marina needs a decent SSW pulse to light up, and we just aren’t getting it. If any solid groundswell had hit, it would have been a different story, but with this outlook, it’s looking like a long wait. You might be better served on a lake or a flat day paddle. That’s the honest truth.
Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
