The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead, so don’t be in a rush.
The outlook’s pretty grim for the first two weeks. There’s a real gap from the start all the way through to early September with barely anything to paddle for. The first glimmer of hope isn’t until Sunday the 9th of September, so we’re looking at a solid week-plus of flat or near-flat conditions. That’s a long dry spell for this area.
The only real standout—and I mean the only one worth talking about—comes on Sunday morning, 9th of September at Capo Marina. This is a tricky reef setup, an advanced wave, and it’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t spin up often. But when it does, it can be something special. We’ve got a 2ft SSW swell pushing in with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak (50), so don’t expect any powerhouses, but the wind is going to be light and offshore from the NNE. That’s clean, clean water. The swell direction is hitting the optimum SSW direction, which means the reef will line up nicely. The water is sitting at 81°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, so you’ll be surfing in a warm bath. Because it’s an inconsistent spot and it’s advanced, you won’t have the crowds fighting for it, but when it’s on, it’s on. Just be aware, the swell is small, so it’s a session for the forehand carves, not the big drops.
After that morning, the rest of the 9th and the following days drop back into tiny, messy, or flat conditions. The 10th and 11th offer nothing worth paddling out for, with clean but empty seas. The 12th has a tiny 0.7ft glassy bump, but it’s barely a ripple. That Sunday morning is your only real window, so if you’re keen, make it count.
Rusty out.

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.
