The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to level with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle for surf around here. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a pulse in the water. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday, the 27th of July, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary.
For the first week, it’s a complete write-off. From now through to Sunday the 26th, the energy is almost non-existent, with combined swell energy sitting at 0 to 9 (weak). The few tiny ripples we see are just not worth paddling out for. You’ll be sitting on a flat board.
The only glimmer of hope shows up on Monday, the 27th of July. The morning brings a small pulse of SW swell at 3 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 192 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The wind is from the N at 15 mph, which is a cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s not a standout by any means. Capo Marina is an advanced, inconsistent reef break, so it won’t be for everyone. The water temperature is a staggering 83°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual – very unusual for this time of year.
After that tiny pulse, it’s back to the doldrums. Tuesday the 28th drops right back to nothing, and the rest of the week stays flat. We see a tiny bump again on Monday, the 3rd of August, with a morning SW swell at 3 ft and a period of 6 seconds, but the energy is weak (43) and the conditions are just "surfable but very ordinary." It’s not going to get the heart racing.
So, the standout here is really the Monday, 27th of July, morning session. It’s the only window with any real energy, but even then, it’s small and the break is inconsistent. The rest of the 16 days is a long, flat stretch. If you’re desperate, you might get a few knee-high sliders on the 27th, but otherwise, keep the board in the car.
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.
