The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. It’s been a quiet stretch and to be honest, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for Capo Marina. I’m looking at a reef break that’s known for being inconsistent, and that’s exactly what we’ve got – a whole lot of nothing for a while.
The first sniff of anything worth paddling out for won’t show up until Sunday morning, the 19th. Even then, we’re just talking about a tiny 2ft of swell from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is only 45, so it’s very weak. The wind is a light cross-off from the north, which will keep things clean, but it’s honestly just ordinary. Not a standout, just the first sign of life after a flat start.
We’ve got a big gap after that. Nothing but flat spells and tiny, poor waves right through the following week. You’ll see a few 2ft bumps here and there, but the energy is barely there, and the wind switches around. It’s not until Friday morning, the 31st of July, that we see a little pulse. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW at 5 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs to 49. The wind is light from the east, keeping it cross-off and clean. It’s still just “surfable but very ordinary,” but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
The real talking point, if you can call it that, is Friday afternoon the 31st. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SSW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 188. That’s moderate energy, but here’s the kicker – the wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSE. It’s going to be a bit bumpy. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so for a top-tier reef like this, it’s not the clean, lined-up stuff you want. It’s really only for the advanced crew who know how to make the most of a messy, inconsistent wave.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, what’s the best? Honestly, nothing is a true standout. If I had to pick, I’d say the morning of Friday, July 31st, is your best bet for a clean, long session on the tiny stuff. Or, if you’re an expert and don’t mind the bump, the afternoon of the same day will have the most push, but it’s not clean. For a break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks well, this is a pretty normal run of flat spells. We’ll have to wait and see if the forecasts change. For now, keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up.
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.
