The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Mate, I’ll be straight with you – this is a grim stretch. There’s nothing on the cards for days. The first real whisper of a wave doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 18th of August, and even then it’s barely a bump. Looking at the whole 16-day window, the only spot that even gets a mention is Capo Marina (a reef setup), and it’s an inconsistent one at that. You’ve got a solid gap of nothing from now until the 18th, and then more gaps after that.

The water temperature is sitting at 84°F on the 11th, and the anomaly is a massive 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s way out of the ordinary – you’re swimming in a bath.

The Tuesday morning of the 18th is the only real flicker of hope. The swell is tiny, 3ft from the S, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (95). The wind is glassy though – dead calm – so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon on the 18th sees the swell bump to 3ft from the SSW, period 7 seconds, energy 96, but the wind swings cross-shore and it’s just not good.

The 19th is a letdown too. Wednesday morning has 2ft from the SW, period 7 seconds, energy 26, and glassy wind, but it’s still poor surf. After that, it’s back to flat or near-flat the rest of the window.

If you’re desperate, the 18th morning is your best bet. It’s not a standout by any stretch – just the least bad option. The swell is small, the period is short, and the quality is poor. For a reef break like Capo, you need a bit more push to get it working. Beginners might find the 3ft manageable, but it’s not exciting. With the weak energy and short period, don’t expect much shape.

Given the lack of swell and poor conditions, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing on the 18th afternoon when the wind picks up.

Keep an eye on the long-range, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a quiet period.

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.

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.
