The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, it’s a pretty quiet start for Capo Marina. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Friday afternoon, August 21st, but even then, it’s not looking great. A risk of thunderstorms and a light onshore breeze won’t do us any favors, with a weak 5ft SSW swell and a short, lumpy 7-second period. The water is a toasty 83°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.
The real standout, and really the only window of decent surf, is Saturday morning, August 22nd. A clean, light offshore breeze from the NNE will be grooming a 5ft SSW swell. It’s a reef setup, so it can handle the energy, with moderate wave energy at 207. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it won’t be a classic, but it’s the best we’ll see. Expect some company, as crowds are known to pop up here sometimes.
After that, the surf drops away fast. Saturday afternoon turns glassy with a much smaller 3ft swell, and from Sunday morning, August 23rd, we slide into a long, flat spell. The energy drops to nearly nothing, and the waves are tiny – 2ft or less. This flat stretch runs right through the end of August and into the first few days of September.
Things start to bubble up again on the morning of Friday, September 4th. A modest 6ft SW swell with a 7-second period rolls in, carrying moderate energy (385). The wind is offshore and light, which should make for some clean, fun waves. It’s a promising option, but being that far out, treat it as a hopeful possibility rather than a sure thing. The morning of September 5th offers a smaller, 3ft option, but it’s not the standout.
So, to sum it up: Saturday morning, August 22nd, is your best bet for the next week. If you’re looking further ahead, keep an eye on Friday, September 4th.
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.
