The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve given the charts a solid once-over for your local waters, and I’ve got to level with you—it’s looking pretty poor for the whole 16-day run. The ocean just isn’t playing ball.
The first week or so is a total dud. From Wednesday the 29th of July through to about the 9th of August, we’re looking at a long, flat spell. The combined wave energy doesn’t top a measly 6 for the first few days, and even the best days around the 5th and 6th of August only manage a combined energy of up to 24. That’s barely a slosh. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a full 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—nice for a swim, but there’s no surf to be had.
The only break in the picture is Capo Marina, a serious reef wave for advanced surfers only. It’s an inconsistent spot, so you’d need patience. The best swell direction is from the SSW, but the tiny swells that pop up are coming from the wrong angles—mostly SSE, SW, or S—with short periods between 4 and 7 seconds. That’s just windswell junk, not real groundswell.
Even in the second week, there’s nothing to get excited about. Around the 12th of August, we get a little bump: a 2ft swell from the S with a period of 5 seconds, combined energy of 25, but the wind is straight onshore from the SSW. It’s going to be a choppy mess. The mornings on the 13th of August have a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE, but the swell is tiny at 1ft from the SW with a period of 5 seconds—combined energy a weak 8. That’s a flat day dressed up as a surf day.
There is no standout session here. The whole 16 days is a write-off. The reef at Capo Marina with these tiny, onshore-chopped waves isn’t worth the drive. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang up the board for a while.
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.
